I need to ask a stupid question. I'm Using Mint 64 bit 17.3 (KDE). Trying to migrate from 3.9.3.0 to 3.16.4 to pick up some new featues. It looks like the installer completed
everything perfectly. See below -

Making dir /root/opt/qcad-3.16.4-pro-linux-x86_64...

Installer did not remove old version. Everything (desktop) is unlocked. New version includes an uninstall script. New version won't run from menus. I've obviously missed something. Any help much appreciated. I love the program.

QCAD Installation Linux Mint
From a QCAD user:
Re: QCAD Installation Linux Mint
First, I'd recommend to install QCAD as user, not as root. QCAD will be installed into ~/opt.
The installer will not remove any previously installed version.
After installation, you can go to ~/opt/qcad-3.16.4-pro-linux-x86_64
To launch QCAD, go to that directory and launch the start script called qcad:
cd ~/opt/qcad-3.16.4-pro-linux-x86_64
./qcad
The installer also creates a desktop icon. It does not, however, create any menus, start menu entries, etc. since these depend greatly on your window manager, configuration, Linux distribution, version thereof, etc.
