You'll probably need to add some info here: what Operating System, how is ROS installed (debians or source), etc are you using. Are you using any hardware that is not a standard PC (for instance, are you on a raspberry Pi, or other ARM-based platform).

I happened to solve this rviz issue by following this answer: https://askubuntu.com/a/1069502/688415

Relevant parts:

I had this error message when trying to run "Stellarium".

With strace I found that the missing file was libxcb-xinerama.so.0. I had to reinstall libxcb-xinerama0 to make it work:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libxcb-xinerama0

Please do not post link-only answers. They have a tendency to go stale pretty quickly.

I've quoted the relevant part and added it to your answer.
