I installed Qt5.7 including the Qtcreator using the installation tool "qt-unified-linux-x64-3.0.5-online.run" into the folder /usr/local/Qt
When I run qtcreator in verbose mode (export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1), I get the following output:
Cannot load library /usr/local/Qt/5.7/gcc_64/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so: (/usr/local/Qt/5.7/gcc_64/lib/libQt5XcbQpa.so.5: symbol _ZTI18QPlatformClipboard, version Qt_5 not defined in file libQt5Gui.so.5 with link time reference)

This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, xcb, vnc.

I can't pin the error. Relevant threads are for example https://forum.qt.io/topic/71369/failed-to-load-qt-platform-plugin-xcb/2, but libQt5XcbQpa.so.5.6.1 is not missing in my case. Any ideas?
