Dear all, I'm close to cracking: I compiled KDE 3.2.1 with the recommended Qt version, configured as recommended (mt-enabled etc.). Then I built arts, kdelib and kdebase which completed ok. I also set KDEDIR and QTDIR correctly; both the lib - directory from the kde install and that of qt are in my ld.so.config; I did ldconfig as root. When I fire up konqueror (or indeed any of the newly built applications) KDE springs into action, a lot of lines on the invoking terminal, and the konqueror windows pops up ok. But then dismay: as soon as I move the mouse pointer into the konqueror field the application crashes. Funny enough (well, not funny, actually): the same happens to Dr. Konqui when it comes up. There are no informative error messages in the terminal window, just the info that it crashed. The same happens if I start a proper KDE session with startkde: klicking on the taskbar will crash it. Same happens with any other non-standard KDE apps. I also tried the most up-to-date Qt version, with the same result. Previously I ran KDE 3.0.x without ever facing this problem. Can anybode help me here?
