one of the applications i use required an update to Qt. i dowloaded compiled and used the new application for a few days without issue. things started to behave strangely and i had a CD that was locked up due to a defunct process, so i rebooted.

right of the bat, kde will no longer initialize. the error message is

'error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory'

so i start another window manager and try konsole. same message

i have update the ld.so.conf file to point to the correct qt libs. this is the output from ldconfig -vN
[36] /home/ktom > /sbin/ldconfig -vN | grep qt
/usr/local/qt/lib:
libqt-mt.so.3 -> libqt-mt.so.3.3.4
libqt.so.3 -> libqt.so.3.3.4
libqthreads.so.12 -> libqthreads.so.12.3.0
libqtmcop.so.1 -> libqtmcop.so.1.0.0

so this output seems to indicate that the system knows about it.

i have downloaded all the kde files but i am very hesitant to go down that path.

any pointers, clues would be greatly appreciated.

ps i can live without kde, but no konsole is not acceptable.

i had already changed permissions to o+x and o+r.

this is the snip from the ldd

[85] /home/ktom/tmp/bbkeys-0.9.0 > ldd /usr/bin/konsole | grep qt
libqt-mt.so.3 => /usr/local/qt/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 (0x40892000)

they are seem to be fine..

i scrolled through the log and i see this.

i ran xfontsel, but i am not sure it that was it or not. and i restarted the WM (blackbox) a number of times. i don't know what triggered the 'kbuildsycoca' but i imagine that reset things.

does this make sense??

thanks
