During installation of Packet Tracer 7.1, I've encountered no problems. When trying to run
~$ packettracer
nothing happened, no welcome screen or anything. I then typed
~$ cd /opt/pt/bin ~$ ./PacketTracer7
which returned the following message:
./PacketTracer7: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5WebKitWidgets.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
To determine which libraries were missing, I issued the following command:
~$ ldd PacketTracer7
to get the list of missing libraries. The following turned out being missing:
libQt5WebKitWidgets.so.5
libQt5WebKit.so.5
libQt5Multimedia.so.5
libQt5PrintSupport.so.5
My question is: how do I install those packages, because running the following command did not work:
~$ sudo apt-get install libQt5WebKitWidgets*
The error message was:
E: Unable to locate package libQt5WebKitWidgets* E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'libQt5WebKitWidgets*' E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libQt5WebKitWidgets*'
Can somebody please help me?

Sabrina almost 4 yearsThanks @Pero for the ldd command, I found this post first, I don't think it should be closed as duplicate. I read the other solution, it's totally different. How do I know? Because I have the same problem too and have the right solution now. Btw, have you solve this problem?

./PacketTracer7: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5ScriptTools.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

chili555 almost 4 years@Sabrina Please see my edit above in a few moments. You will need to also install libqt5scripttools5.
