I have the same issue on ubuntu 16.04 LTS. After updating the OS, robo3t started to fail. This is the error running it from the terminal:

QFactoryLoader::QFactoryLoader() checking directory path "/home/fgrillini/programmi/robo3t/lib/platforms" ...
QFactoryLoader::QFactoryLoader() looking at "/home/fgrillini/programmi/robo3t/lib/platforms/libqxcb.so"

Available platform plugins are: xcb.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

To enable error debugging:

export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1

./robo3t/bin/robo3t

Duplicate of #1384. Read comment https://github.com/Studio3T/robomongo/issues/1384#issuecomment-310014541 for a workaround.

[federico-grillini]

The workaround works! Thanks!

Robo 3T is not opening for me. it throws the error robo3t-1.1.1-linux-x86_64-c93c6b0/bin/robo3t: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.18' not found (required by /home/oedev/Downloads/robo3t-1.1.1-linux-x86_64-c93c6b0/bin/../lib/libstdc++.so.6). Can anyone help me?

[Developer-Amit]

deleting libstdc++* from lib folder solved the issue

[obohovyk]

Looks like robo3t requires GLIBC_2.18 minimum. Centos 7 still uses glibc-2.17...

[racic]

Yeah, why do you require such high version of glibc? Some modern distros have more conservative approach and use 2.17 like aforementioned CentOS 7 as most probably their RedHat and Scientific Linux counterparts.
