Mandrake?

You would not happen to be using Mandrake? I get the same problem, and I suspect there is something strange with Mandrake rather than KDE.

As far I know Mandrake delivers QT 3.0
KDE need at laest 3.2 (maybe 3.1 also ok) :roll:

oops i didn't read wel on top :(

Looks similar...

Hi, that looks almost exactly the same as the problem I had before when I was compiling KDE. For me, it was QT. I had 3.3 installed and it died the same way, changing my symlink to QT3.2.3, KDE started up.

Hope this helps,

Hm

That sounds like it could be worth investigating. Thanks!

Yes!

I compiled 3.2.1 using Konstruct, which apparently uses QT 3.2.3, and now... yes! Success!
