problems with kopete 0.6.0

Hello, I have updated my kopete via download from SuSE Linux KDE Service. the new version is kopete 0.6.0 on my KDE 3.1 (SuSE 8.0). If I want to launch kopete nothing happens. If I call it on konsole, the error "Speicherzugriffsfehler" appears. But if I call kopete via root with "kdesu kopete" then the application starts to work. I backed up my previous kopete settings to a different location and I deleted all personal settings from previous version of kopete. How can I get to work as a normal user? Thanks and greetings from Weimar, Germany Steffen
