I noticed another person having problems with KDE so I thought I'd throw my problems into the ring as well! I'm running 2.2.7 and just recently upgraded to XFree86 3.3.3. I read the KDE ports page and determined everything I would need to install KDE. I was able to find everything listed on the kde-base required list except qt.1.41. I found qt.1.40 and hoped that this would work. I also read the newsgroup archives and learned that when installing the packages, installation order is important or you get dependency errors. I installed all the packages but had a few problems along the way. One problem was that one of the packages depended on XFree86 3.3.2 being installed on my machine. It was already installed and I was using other window managers to prove it. I went back to the newsgroup archives and found a post that showed a way to update the package database without actually installing software. I continued with the installation and made it all the way through to the end without any errors. I ran startkde and received bad magic number errors and old version numbers for libqt. Figuring that my problem was related to not loading qt.1.41, I looked all over the ftp site until I found it. I downloaded the package and ran pkg_add but encountered some errors. First it said that XFree86 3.3.3 was required and then gave me an error with trying to symlink to a library file. So I went ahead and upgraded to 3.3.3, rebooted and tried to run startkde. Now I get the following error: /usr/libexec/ld.so: warning: /usr/local/lib/libjpeg.so.9: minor version -1 older than expected 0, using it anyway ld.so failed: bad magic number in "/usr/local/lib/libjpeg.so.9 I hope all this isn't coming across as a comedy of errors to those who know better! I've tried to be very methodical in my approach and to read all the FAQ's, newsgroup posts, and the like. I'm just not sure what to do at this point. Any help at this point would be greatly appreciated. Tracy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
