Can't you work back through the process chain with ldd to confirm the correct libraries are linked all the way through?
Well, the strace seemed to indicate that the 64bit routines were called, as they were specifically mentioned in the trace.
If that doesn't get you anywhere, I've seen plenty of threads via Google ending with "reinstalled KDE and the problem went away". I know... blunt force... but I've run out of suggestions.
And thats exactly where I'm going Carl. Its a new machine that I'm just putting into service and I don't have any commitment to the present install. It seems wiser to me to restart fresh than try to fix this mess. I thank you for your help, you are a gentleman and a scholar and I take back every bad thing I've said about you. ;-) BTW, this SAME thing happened to Mark Shuttleworth in late 2005. I found his posting on the ubuntu forums via google. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
