The Python issue was known and seems harmless.
I have found an error, some important variables mentioned in
http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4.x were not set
properly. I have fixed it and then ran startkde, now it complain following:
**
kstartupconfig4 does not exist or failed. The error code is 3. Check
your installation.
kstartupconfig4 exists:
type kstartupconfig4
kstartupconfig4 is /usr/bin/kstartupconfig4
I have Google searched on kstartupconfig4 issue, but still could not
find a proper fix, any idea to share?
Regards
Sagara
