This kde 3.2.2 is driving me crazy. I had it running once, but after adding some packages (using konstruct, with make install) I am back to square one (see below): certain symbols cannot be found. (KDE 3.2.2 on Suse linux 9.0).
I had it running for a few days, so it must be something in my environment, but I have no clue what. (I indeed changed ld.so.conf in between, but I have changed it back to the best of my knowledge)
It know reads:
/etc/ld.so.conf:
/usr/X11R6/lib/Xaw95 /usr/X11R6/lib/Xaw3d /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/i486-linux/lib /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib=libc5 /usr/i486-linux-libc6/lib=libc6 /usr/i486-linuxaout/lib /usr/i386-suse-linux/lib /usr/local/lib # /opt/kde3/lib /opt/kde-3.2.2/lib /opt/kde-3.2.2/lib/kde3 /opt/gnome/lib
This looks OK, except that I don't see anything for Qt. Where is Qt installed?
==> Qt is installed in /usr/llib/qt3. However, I don't put qt in my ld.so.conf, as I have multi Qt versions installed, and I want to
switch easily from one version to another. However, I have set the QTDIR correctly, and also the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
is set correctly. This is done when I log in. 100% sure about that.
By the way, I first log into a console, after which I do a "startx" to start KDE.
I have set the environment variables KDEDIR and KDEDIR to the kde installation bin directory.
If you mean that you set:
KDEDIR=/opt/kde-3.2.2/bin
that is wrong. You need to add: "/opt/kde-3.2.2/bin" to your path.
HOWEVER, you should set:
KDEDIR=/opt/kde-3.2.2
==> This was my type in the email. I had set it as you describe.
Where did you set this? If SuSE has a directory: "/etc/profile.d/" you would normally use a script in that directory. Look for files: /etc/profile.d/kde*.sh" to see if there is an old one.
You also need to set:
KDEHOME QTDIR PATH
correctly.
==> This is what I have:
QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3 KDEDIR=/opt/kde-3.2.2 KDEHOME=/home/ksbbe1/.kde-3.2.2 KDEDIRS=/opt/kde-3.2.2
My $PATH variable is:
/opt/kde-3.2.2/bin:/usr/lib/qt3/bin:.:/home/ksbbe1/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/bin:/etc
Q. Who can tell me where this start_laucher symbol can be found? In which library
There must be a kde developer who understands all of this.
No comment. :-) But, I hope that I can figure this out for you.
==> The longer I struggle, the more curious I get!

You have some minor X font configuration issues but not enough to cause it to fail to start, so worry about these later.
QPainter::begin: Cannot paint null pixmap QPainter::begin: Cannot paint null pixmap
Don't worry about these, it is just useless debug information.
This is not right because my libkdecore.so.4.2 does not contain the symbol: "start_launcher" and it works OK (I have KDE-3.2.2 up and running). And, note that KDE-3.2.2 should have version 4.2.0 installed although it is probably linked against version 4.2. That means that there should be a link in: /opt/kde-3.2.2/lib:DCOP: register 'anonymous-22392' -> number of clients is now 1 DCOP: unregister 'anonymous-22392'
****************> Could not find start_launcher: /opt/kde-3.2.2/lib/libkdecore.so.4: undefined symbol: start_launcher
libkdecore.so.4 -> libkdecore.so.4.2
You should also have one for the linker:
libkdecore.so -> libkdecore.so.4.2
Do you still have an older version of KDE on your system. This is a common problem. On Linux at least the stuff has different version numbers, but it is still possible to have them mixed up.
That is, do you still have stuff in: "/opt/kde3". If so, lock that directory and see what happens -- see if you get a different error message.
To lock the directory execute in a Konsole or Virtual Terminal [as root]:
chmod 000 /opt/kde3
Then as far as the system is concerned that directory doesn't exist.
I suspect that your PATH might be wrong:
echo $PATH
post the results if you are not sure.
