Driver not found error in Qt - mysql

Question

I was trying to connect mysql with Qt 5.2.1. I ran a program but got the error
QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QSQLITE QMYSQL QMYSQL3 QPSQL QPSQL7
I ran the following command on terminal to solve the problem.
sudo apt-get install libqt5sql5-mysql
But problem remained unsolved.
The code is as follows.
#include <QtGui>
#include <QtSql/QSql>
#include <QTableWidget>
#include <QApplication>
#include <QSqlDatabase>
#include <QMessageBox>
#include <QSqlError>
#include <QSqlQuery>
#include <QSqlRecord>
#include <QtSql/QSqlDriver>
int main(int argc,char* argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc,argv);
QTableWidget* table = new QTableWidget();
table->setWindowTitle("Connect to Mysql Database Example");
QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QMYSQL");
qDebug()<<"abc";
db.setHostName("192.168.11.3");
db.setDatabaseName("menudb");
db.setUserName("root");
db.setPassword("test");
if (!db.open())
{
QMessageBox::critical(0, QObject::tr("Database Error"),
db.lastError().text());
}
QSqlQuery query("SELECT * FROM test");
table->setColumnCount(query.record().count());
table->setRowCount(query.size());
int index=0;
while (query.next())
{
table->setItem(index,0,new QTableWidgetItem(query.value(0).toString()));
table->setItem(index,1,new QTableWidgetItem(query.value(1).toString()));
index++;
}
table->show();
qDebug()<<"charu";
return app.exec();
}
Please help me to solve the problem.

QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QSQLITE QMYSQL QMYSQL3 QPSQL QPSQL7
That means that you have the MySql plugin driver for Qt, but probably you don't have the MySql client lib (libmysqlclient.so).
So, make sure that you have libmysqlclient.so in your library path.
To check the dependencies of the plugin use:
objdump -p /PathToQt/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlmysql.so | grep NEEDED
