Did you also upgrade the qt3 package? See: http://www.suse.de/en/private/download/linuks/i386/update_for_9_0/base.html Very likely the previous KDE version was compiled against an other version of qt. The new KDE binairies are no calling new symbols which do not exists in the old qt libs, so therefore you very likely get these undefined symbols. Marc On Friday 19 March 2004 18:10, P C wrote:
i recently installed Suse 9.0 on my machine, and things were running fine. Then i decided to update the KDE, which i did and that went relatively smooth. Now just the other day, i did Suse's online update. and pretty much updated everything. it seemed to do it without a problem, but apparently it did mess up something, because next time when i started the computer, I got a message on small window on the top left corner "Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation" the screen was light gray. clicked on OK and it took me out to the linux non Xwindow shell interface. (what is that called, command line interface?) The error it had spat out which I thought relative, I have typed below. I am still a fairly novice linux user so am stumped as to what caused this.
