libxcb-xinput.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Question

I tried to install the Linux version of NovAtel Convert(OEM6/OEM7) 64-Bit software from this link on my Ubuntu 16.04 machine.

This is the following error I got:

error while loading shared libraries: libxcb-xinput.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It seems libxcb-xinput-dev is not available in Ubuntu 16.04 xenial according to this page.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Solution

I had the same issue on Ubuntu 18.04. My solution was running the command sudo apt-get install libxcb-xinput0 to install the missing package.

@FäridAlijani That's the libxcb-xinput0 package is available in the default Ubuntu repositories only in 18.04 and later.
