FreeBSD generally doesn't use /opt. If you want it to work, though, you'll need to make these changes to your shell startup file (.profile or .cshrc depending): . Add `/opt/kde/bin' to the PATH variable list. . Add `/opt/kde/lib' to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable. You'll probably have to add this. If you use the kde port then it installs in /usr/local/* so no changes are necessary.
