Viber aborts unexpectedly while launching

Question

Just installed Viber on a 64-bit ubuntu 14.10, but launching it from the menu or the .desktop file didn't work; launching from the terminal either with sudo-rights or not results with a message "Aborted"; a quick shot from gdb results :

 Starting program: /opt/viber/Viber 
Cannot exec /opt/viber/Viber -c exec /opt/viber/Viber .
Error: No such file or directory
During startup program exited with code 127.

Despite all of it, file /opt/viber/Viber results in /opt/viber/Viber: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.24, BuildID[sha1]=27413a56e406a81595a30b69d35ba4e3ebfb0760, not stripped

All shared libs are satisfied too by using ldd /opt/viber/Viber:

What could be the problem?

Run gdb ./Viber in /opt/viber, then run and after it crashes, backtrace, edit question and post output here. — m132, Feb 17 '15 at 21:49
Could you post full gdb output? Does Viber actually run, or does gdb just display No such file or directory, just like in the question? — m132, Feb 25 '15 at 19:37
It just results what ever was shown in the question, and no it does not run. — user128712, Mar 02 '15 at 03:46

You can install the qt5 module to get it to work:

sudo apt-get install qt5-default

I have solved that issue by specifying /opt/viber/ in Path variable inside /usr/share/applications/viber.desktop file.
