Problem in FC5

So I set up the kde.repo per http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/ this site and ran yum install kde. It updated KDe to the latest version, problem is, it won't work.

Get the error "Could not start kdeinit. Check installation"

If I start in runlevel 3 and type startkde, I get the following errors:

Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

[edit]
I've updated to the latest version of QT from here: ftp://apt.unl.edu/apt/fedora/RPMS/i386/k…86/RPMS.stable/ which has changed my error message from one about a symbol lookup error to:
kdeinit: Aborting. $DISPLAY is not set.

[2nd edit]
solved by running command: export DISPLAY=:1
