More possibly helpful information I have collected: Some Linux distros give an error message about a missing library when trying to run Leo after a first-time installation. Missing Linux libraries can often be identified at pkgs.org:
http://pkgs.org/ Sometimes the error message will say that "libxcb-cursor0" is needed (that's "cursorZero", in case the font zero looks like the letter O), and sometimes that's not the right package name for that distro. pkgs.org can help. Per the referenced URL, setting this environmental variable will produce a more detailed message about what Qt found missing: export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 On Tuesday, October 15, 2024 at 8:58:57 AM UTC-4 Thomas Passin wrote: > Yes, you have to use --user --break-system-packages to pip-install with > the system's Python installation.
