Ubuntu 22.04
Qt 5.13.2
qwt-6.2.0

The desktop file:

Qt Code:

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

When clicking this shortcut on the desktop, I get this error:

/home/mja/eclipse/teensy_workspace/miller/gui/build-ADSR-Desktop_Qt_5_13_2_GCC_64bit-Release/ADSR: error while loading shared libraries: libqwt.so.6.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Running this file another way works fine : mja@mja:/usr/local/share/applications$ gtk-launch ADSR
and it works inside Qt-Creator.

This problem only occurs if qwt is included in the project

Help welcome!
