Unable to open QCAD

Post by Gavindah » Wed Aug 07, 2019 2:20 am

Hello, I just downloaded and extracted the zip file of QCAD pro for linux 64 but I am unable to open the qcad-bin executable file. Same file opens for me in the trial version but not the pro version. Do I need to delete the trial version first? or something else? :oops:

You could keep both versions on your system but never mix versions in the same directory. Make sure the pro is installed in a new or empty subdirectory and it should work as expected. Keep us posted :wink:

Thanks for that! I deleted the trial version but that didn't help. Then I deleted the pro version, and downloaded the zip file again, then extracted to an empty sub-directory but I'm still unable to open! :?

I am unable to open the qcad-bin executable file.
The startup script is called "qcad", not "qcad-bin".
