Symptom:
When starting InTime, you encounter an error message containing:
“intime: symbol lookup error: bin7/libQt5XcbQpa.so.5: undefined symbol: FT_Get_Font_Format.”
or similar.
This is due to the fact that the libfreetype version in the system is lower than 2.6, and usually happens for Centos 7.x and above.
Resolution:
Upgrade the system freetype library.

Alternatively, download libfreetype.so.6 from https://github.com/plunify/libfreetype and save it in the bin7/ or bin/ folder in the <InTime installation directory>/.
[user@host ~]$ cd <InTime installation directory/bin7/ [user@host ~]$ ls -ls 1560 -rwxr-xr-x 1 user admin 777K Jul 20 09:03 libfreetype.so.6
