qt creator 5 linux,qtcreator Qt_5 not found

Hello I have a problem starting qtcreator under Ubuntu 16.04. The reported error is:

qtcreator: /usr/bin/../lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qtcreator/../libQt5Gui.so.5: version `Qt_5_PRIVATE_API' not found (required by /usr/lib/libQt5Widgets.so.5)

qtcreator: /usr/bin/../lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qtcreator/../libQt5Gui.so.5: version `Qt_5' not found (required by /usr/lib/libQt5Widgets.so.5)

I tried different solutions from other threads but can't make it. Can anyone help or explain what exactly the problem is? A few days ago I was able to run qtcreator, but when I tried today I got this error. I think it may correspond to the installation of some application, unfortunately I can't say which one, I had to install a few.

Some more information:

qmake --version

QMake version 3.0

Using Qt version 5.5.1 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

I have only qt versions installed from the official repositories, there are following files installed:

/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.7.0

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQtCore.so.4.8.7

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5.5.1

Could there be a configuration problem? Is there a way to reconfigure the paths?

Probably interesting, too, the same moment I can't run qtcreator I can't run rviz from the ros-kinetic-package.

rviz

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb"

in "".

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Aborted (core dumped)

I tried to purge rviz, ros, qtcreator and installed it again, I installed qt5-default, but couldn't solve my problem.

Thank you for your help.

Edit: Okay I took some time and tried the solution from here again: Error on execution -version `Qt_5' not found required by

and this partially solves the problem. With LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ qtcreator I can start qtcreator again. But this of course doesn't solve the problem at all, how can I reconfigure it.

Edit 2: The LD_LIBRARY_PATH solution doesn't help for the rviz problem, it tells me:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ rviz

rviz: error while loading shared libraries: librviz.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I then tried

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/ros/kinetic/lib rviz

which interestingly brought rviz to live.

So it seems that my paths are confused, the question is why and how to repair them (does it help to move the Qt5.7 libs and links to another directory)?

(Last thing to note, the other ros tools as rqt_console, rqt_plot, ... fail, too, if I don't add the LIBRARY_PATH in advance of the call.

EDIT 3: So I think I found out a little more inside. I have a camera from FLIR, which uses a library called spinnaker. To install, one has to install a bunch of .deb packages. One of these is spinview_qt-.deb. It contains the QT5.7 version and installs to /usr/lib.

dpkg --contents spinview-qt-1.10.0.31_amd64.deb

I think the problem may be that Ubuntu tries to find QT5 in /usr/bin before it looks in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu. So my question is, how can I achieve Ubuntu using the QT5.5.1 version as default again? Can I configure it or do I have to add the LD_LIBRARY_PATH always now? How can I uninstall the QT5.7 lib? Just delete the files listed above?
