That error is directly related to your graphics card drivers and the libraries that support it. Given that this is a new installation, fixing the issue may be as simple as running the command below.

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev

That's assuming that your lxqt is ubuntu (which is a desktop environment, not a distro).

If this persists, please let us know how you installed your distro (also because I've been curious about lxqt and have tried it only with opensuse), what your graphics card is, and what the output of entering the command 'glxinfo' is.

I'm pretty sure you're missing a dependency on your system and it's not an issue caused by love.

I have some code running sample applications with SDL2 and it works fine.

I also compiled some OpenGL code and it also works fine. The glxinfo and glxdemo also works properly.

May I help somehow to investigate this error? I know about C/C++ programming but not about Linux Graphics Programming... but I can use my setup help in to compile/test.

Thanks for the great work with Love2d!
