Hi Mario, I had on 3.1.x already the same problem... It is a freetype error msg. KDE3.2/qt3 is compiled against XFree 4.2, freetype2-2.0.9 and pango 1.0.4. So just do the same I did... Return to the roots (i.e. to the old Xfree and freetype, but leave the 4.3 resmgr installed). Then it will work without problem.. Regards, Udo Am Dienstag, 24.

Hi all,
I just upgraded to KDE 3.2, and since then I have a problem with freetype2.
My configuration: SuSE 8.1 XFree86-4.3.0-17 (8.1 update from freetype2-2.1.3-36 ftp.suse.com)
Since the KDE upgrade I get a message window at KDE startup (before the splash screen appears) which says something like "kdeinit failed", and XFree86.0.log contains the following lines:
kdeinit: relocation error: /usr/lib/qt3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3: undefined symbol: FT_Seek_Stream startkde: Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation.
KDE comes up normally as it seems, and I didn't observe any problems up to now (besides the message itself).
I found some hits in google with the same problem but other kde/freetype versions, but no real solution, besides updating SuSE Linux which I don't really want to do.
With freetype2-2.0.9-84.i586.rpm (original version from SuSE 8.1) the kdeinit problem is gone, but then I face Xserver crashs on certain font related actions, e.g. when selecting fonts in kde, opera etc., or just running xfd -fn <any font>. So using freetype2-2.1.3-36 is the lesser of two evils.
Is there anything I can do about it? Can I safely ignore this message?
Regards Mario
