Nextcloud: latest commit at time of cloning: https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/commit/d6b34323c57a14b36d691534225f931694072736

used instruction on https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/wiki/How-to-compile-the-desktop-client for compilation

install path was custom ( in a homefolder)

I believe you need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to run an installation in a custom folder.

thank you very much for the hint. the solution is:

add the path of the lib folder in your build folder to the file at /etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-linux-gnu.conf

in my case (...)/nextcloud/desktop/build/build/lib

than sudo ldconfig

i think this should be mentioned in the wiki
