Recently I have noticed after upgrading using YAST that a few things are broken on my 8.0 Pro computer. 1) It doesn't seem to be processing /etc/profile.local. I have a few PATH and other environment variables there, but those are not getting in effect. 2) I reinstalled java2 from the DVD, but the appropriate JDK_HOME environment variables were not set. Furthermore, the java program under /usr/lib/SunJavaxxx/bin was not found in the path. The java directory usually is set by SuSEConfig (I think). Looks like this problem is related to problem 1). 3) the environment variable QTDIR was not set properly. I added it to /etc/profile.local. But it wasn't getting processes, so I ended up putting it in ~/.bashrc. Unfortunately, I can only then compile Qt program on a command prompt. I usually like to do it in XEmacs. XEmacs does not see the QTDIR environment variable that is set from ~/.bashrc. 4) In Qt assistant, nothing appears. Looks like all the documentation pane is blank. All of these problems are related. Can someone please advise. SuSE 8.0 Pro with KDE 3.0.3 adn Qt 3.0.5. Everything from SuSE RPMs and updated using YAST2. Salman
