QCAD crashes on file save

Post by Bart » Sat Jan 31, 2026 2:04 pm

Hi, I am having a similar issue. May be unrelated, sorry if so.
It was solved using the following from the terminal window.
(crash info at the bottom)

$ cd /usr/lib64/qcad/
$ QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./qcad-bin

(ref https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?t=11977)

System Info:

New install on latest Fedora 43
rpm from the Fedora repository
qcad-3.32.4.0-3.fc43.x86_64 rpm

Hi,

Seems to be an actual problem e.g. this topic
