I experienced this in RH 8.0 - what I ended up having to do (at least my kludge worked for my issues) was to edit the /etc/profile and include: KDEDIR=/usr export KDEDIR ...then as well, add the QT lib paths to my /etc/ld.so.conf and rerun ldconfig; after that, all my KDE apps/applets worked without further problems. This has become part of my normal practise now when I do an installation of RH on a workstation - JUST IN CASE - cuz I don't wanna have to go back to the workstation unless I absolutely have to... -- Wed May 28 07:50:00 EST 2003 07:50:00 up 10:23, 2 users, load average: 0.13, 0.15, 0.16 ----------------------------------------------------------------- | __ __ |kuhn media australia | | /-oo /| |'-. |http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' |stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ----------------------------------------------------------------- linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1 & RH 7.3 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 ----------------------------------------------------------------- * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * BOFH excuse #86: Runt packets -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
