Hi, We are trying to deploy qt5 in various foss toolchains and are experiencing issues with the xkb library.
The users report errors like (X11 20160819 in foss 2016b): xkbcommon: ERROR: failed to add default include path /sw/easybuild/software/MPI/GCC/5.4.0-2.26/OpenMPI/1.10.3/X11/20160819/share/X11/xkb Qt: Failed to create XKB context! Use QT_XKB_CONFIG_ROOT environmental variable to provide an additional search path, add ':' as separator to provide several search paths and/or make sure that XKB configuration data directory contains recent enough contents, to update please see http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/ . It is our current understanding the the directory /sw/easybuild/software/MPI/GCC/5.4.0-2.26/OpenMPI/1.10.3/X11/20160819/share/X11/xkb should look similar to -bash-4.2$ ls -l /opt/thinlinc/share/X11/xkb total 28 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 3 2016 compat drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Oct 3 2016 geometry drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Oct 3 2016 keycodes drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 3 2016 rules drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Oct 3 2016 symbols drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 3 2016 types but we are completely lacking a xkb directory: [root@aurora1 ~]# ls /sw/easybuild/software/MPI/GCC/5.4.0-2.26/OpenMPI/1.10.3/X11/20160819/share/X11/ locale Xcms.txt XErrorDB I went back to the old log file of the X11 (I build that in december) and found it has stuff like: == 2016-12-16 18:15:33,725 easyconfig.py:1205 WARNING Unable to resolve template value libxkbcommon-%(version)s with dict {'versionprefix': '', 'versionsuffix': '', '\ toolchain_name': 'foss', 'toolchain_version': '2016b'} == 2016-12-16 18:15:33,725 easyconfig.py:1205 WARNING Unable to resolve template value %(name)s-%(version)s.tar.gz with dict {'versionprefix': '', 'versionsuffix': ''\ , 'toolchain_name': 'foss', 'toolchain_version': '2016b'} I checked the logs of a newer X11, which I build with EB 3.3.1 and that has similar. Not sure this is the cause of the issue, but it might be a starter. Any comments/hints/requests_for_more_info? Thanks Joachim
