Hi Olaf,

Sorry for the long delay since your last email - a deadline before x-mas kept me from doing anything else. Unfortunately, I still can't start kde2 even after following your last suggestions. After a start and crash of kde2 the error log .X.err still reads always the same:

For knotify, kspalsh: error in loading shared libs /opt/kde2//lib/libkdeui.so.3: undefined symbol: style Change_8QToolBarR6QStyle For ksmserver, kdeinit: error in loading shared libs /opt/kde2//lib/libkdecore.so.3: undefined symbol: qt_set_locale_codec_FP10QTextCodec

Something is going on here, maybe some mixed library versions? What is the content of /etc/ld.so.conf, is there /opt/kde2/lib? Mine looks like that: /lib-aout /usr/X11R6/lib/Xaw95 /usr/X11R6/lib/Xaw3d /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/powerpc-suse-linux/lib /usr/ppc-suse-linux/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/openwin/lib /opt/kde/lib /opt/kde2/lib /opt/gnome/lib what is the output of ldd /opt/kde2//lib/libkdecore.so.3? Maybe some shell scripting: (for i in /opt/kde*/bin/* /opt/kde*/lib/* ;do echo $i;ldd $i;done)>/tmp/ldd.txt 2>&1 Gruss Olaf

Im zweiten Log steht "/opt/kde2/bin/kdeinit libXY not found", sind die tatsächlich nicht da?

Both files can be found in /opt/kde2/lib: libkdeui.la, .so, .so.so3, .so.so3.0.0 and libkdecore.la, .so, so.so3, so.so3.0.0. The .la files have a line in them answering "Is this an already installed library?" positively. Thus I assume that the two files are truely there.

Bei mir gehören die alle in kdelibs.rpm. Am besten mal 'ldconfig' als root aufrufen.

If I run as root ldconfig -v then only the kde1 files get checked. If I run ldconfig -v /log/kde2/lib then the files of that directory are checked (most positively) and then the output seems to be the same as with ldconfig. The two files from before appear as libkdeui.so.3 -> libkdeui.so3.0.0 libkdecore.so.3 -> libkdecore.so3.0.0

Sind alle rpms von ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/supplementary/KDE/update_for_7.0/base/ installiert?

Yes. I checked the ftp site again and updated to the newest builds. See above.

...

Schick am besten mal 'rpm -qa' wenn alles nichts hilft.

That's attached.

At one point I thought that I maybe do not use the right kdmrc file since SuSEconfig would give me a message that it wouldn't replace the changed kdmrc file automatically. By now it is doing so and I have run SuSEconfig and ldconfig in all kinds of combinations to no avail.

I am starting to wonder if I should update to Suse 7.3, but am afraid that this will just pose new problems (have never updated before) and remove me even further from using KDEOffice. But maybe not?

Buying 7.3 is certanly an good option, but I think we can fix it :) Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
