I've just installed Compose and Activate on my Arch linux 64 bit system.

Compose works correctly, but Activate gives this error when I try to lunch it:

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb"
in "".
Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, xcb.
Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Dump path: /tmp/81494567-823c-4f8b-5cb5cda9-450c5ed0.dmp

I tried to reinstall, but still I cannot execute Activate.

Can you help me, please?

    I've solved deleting the libfreetype.so and libfreetype.so.6 from the 2020/altair/ActivatePersonal2020.1/.altair/hwx/bin/linux64/ folder and replacing them with soft links to the same libraries installed in my archlinux system.
