Hello Everyone This is an otherwise stock installation of KDE on Fedora 12. I compile and run three KDE applications from KDE's extragear SVN repository (Amarok, K3B & Krusader), and one that does not come from KDE (Bibletime). I install them in a new path each time, depending on what day that I am updating. Today I have installed Amarok, Bibletime, K3B & Krusader in "/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde" So, for example, "/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin" looks like this: /usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin/amarok /usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin/amarok_afttagger /usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin/amarokcollectionscanner /usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin/amarokmp3tunesharmonydaemon /usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin/amarokpkg /usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin/bibletime /usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin/k3b /usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin/k3bsetup /usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin/krusader This path does definitely exist! K3B, for example, does not detect the appropriate plugins unless I set the KDEDIR to point to the directory that "bin/k3b" is located in. So, I created a file called "/home/steve/.kde/env/customenv.sh" It's entire contents look like this: export KDEDIR=/usr export KDEDIRS=/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328:$KDEDIR "systemsettings | Advanced| Autostart" has that script set to run on "Pre- KDE startup" >From a terminal, the values of $KDEDIR and $KDEDIRS are as follows: [steve@localhost ~]$ $KDEDIR bash: /usr: is a directory [steve@localhost ~]$ $KDEDIRS bash: /usr/local/spu/spu-20100328:/usr: No such file or directory [steve@localhost ~]$ And, as most of you probably expect from what you read above, "which k3b" returns the following value: [steve@localhost ~]$ which k3b /usr/bin/k3b [steve@localhost ~]$ So, I am at a loss as to what to do next. Here is a link to the K3B forum: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=153&t=86700&p=152946#p152071 where I got the idea for: export KDEDIR=/usr export KDEDIRS=/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328:$KDEDIR (I have changed what I was originally told to try to make things more simple to maintain. In fact, I used to have four separate KDEDIRS lines in customenv.sh and it worked great. For a while...) So, any help you can give me is greatly appreciated. Steven P.
