I had the same problem, using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and ROS kinetic, and I had also recently installed the Phantom Omni's geomagic touch device driver. It turns out that the geomagic touch device driver adds its own Qt5 dynamic library files in /opt/geomagic_touch_device_driver/lib and then adds that to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. These are then used by rviz (among other Qt apps) instead of the correct ones. To find out if this applies to you as well, run:
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
And if you see /opt/geomagic_touch_device_driver/lib included, that is the culprit. I personally didn't need any of the Qt functionality of the Phantom Omni, so I just stopped it from adding that directory to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH which can be done by editing the following file:
sudo nano /etc/profile.d/geomagic.sh
to remove the export LD_LIBRARY_PATH line. This will possibly break your Phantom Omni if it needs the other non-Qt files in that directory. I just linked them to my /usr/lib directory, and now I can run the Omni code and rviz.
