Well, I got this error because I had my QT and KDE paths pointing to KDE2 and QT2's directories. You might want to take a look at /etc/rc.config and your .bashrc to see what you have specifed. And change all references to KDE2 to KDE3. Also, you should remove the following files. /tmp/<everthing KDE> In your home directory you can do this... rm -rf .DCOP* .MCOP* .mcop* These are left over when you exit from KDE2 everytime and if KDE3 tries to use them it won't be happy. You should also look in your .bashrc to make sure that /opt/kde3/bin is in your path. If you do this and your still having issues shoot off another email and we can go from there. * Mark Hollingsworth (marhol@netspace.net.au) [020414 00:22]: ::I have just installed kde3 on my 7.3 system but when I try to log in I get ::an error message telling me to check if DCOPserver is running.
