can't start koffice/kword

Installed koffice and kword 1.3.5. The installation went well, but when I try to start kword I get the following error:

./kword: relocation error: /opt/kde3/lib/libkofficecore.so.2: undefined symbol:_ZN11KMainWindow7setIconERK7QPixmap

I tried it with diffrent versions of koffice, but it didn't help. I use SuSE 9.0 with the KDE 3.3.1.

Has anybody an idea... Thanx for your help!

This kind of error can be caused by a version conflict. Either a wrong version of a library is installed instead of the correct one, or more than one is installed at the same time and the wrong one is picked up... Did you compile any parts of KDE from source and installed it in parallel to another one?

I had an older version of the KDE and updated it with yast from an ftp server (rpms). So there are still some old packages from the old version?

So if I have this conflict, what can I do?

The libaries installed are (maybe it helps):

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1640 2004-11-11 07:12 libkofficecore.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2004-11-27 16:49 libkofficecore.so -> libkofficecore.so.2.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2004-11-27 16:49 libkofficecore.so.2-> libkofficecore.so.2.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 814154 2004-11-11 07:12 libkofficecore.so.2.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1710 2004-11-11 07:13 libkofficeui.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2004-11-27 16:49 libkofficeui.so -> libkofficeui.so.2.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2004-11-27 16:49 libkofficeui.so.2 -> libkofficeui.so.2.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 852703 2004-11-11 07:13 libkofficeui.so.2.0.0

Thank you for your fast reply!

Unfortunately I'm no expert in these matters. But I think it could just as well be a version incompatibility.

Normally yast should have taken care of the dependencies and should have ensured that you have the proper versions.

Some questions:
- Did you install any rpms with the --nodeps option?
- Did you update KOffice and the rest of KDE at the same time?
- Do you have the up-to-date versions of all packages, especially kdelibs and all of KOffice? If not then you could try to update to the most current version. SuSE keeps releasing new packages between KDE releases that contain minor changes, for example from kdelibs3-doc-3.3.1-5.i586.rpm to kdelibs3-doc-3.3.1-13.i586.rpm

I think ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.0 is the location to check for updates. You can also enter the following URL into yast: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.0/yast-source (I cannot check this, though, as I don't have a SuSE here.)
