Hi, I installed it though pkg_add -r kdegraphics3. Install seemed to go all right. Then the software added itself to the K menu. But KPDF doesn't launch. When started from the console, I get : # kpdf /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libidn.so.16" not found, required by "kpdf" My guess is that there is version mixup involving one of the dependencies used by KPDF. Any idea which dependency is concerned or how I can bail out of this ?
