Multiple KDEs - Help needed
I have recently installed SuSE v9.0 Pro.
I followed the tutorial on http://developer.kde.org/build/build2ver.html as I want to play around with the CVS versions without upsetting the
system.
I created an additional user and have even compiled a version within that user.
However, I am struggling to get it operational. There is a hint within the
above page about not using '/etc/ld.so.conf for KDE or Qt as this is a
system wide configuration file'. Also there is advice about setting
QTDIR and some other variables. The problem is that SuSE's startkde
script contains unset commands to unset these variables.
Has anyone got a dual KDE system working using SuSE? If so, help would be greatly appreciated.

But if you are using the CVS version, you should not start SuSE's startkde but the one of the CVS version.
So you need to set $WINDOWMANAGER to that new startkde
export WINDOWMANAGER=/your_new_path_to_the_installed_kde_cvs/bin/startkde
As for /etc/ld.so.conf, try first to run it without any change. KDE uses absolute library path, so such a change is not really needed (at least when it works correctly.)
Have a nice day!
Thanks for that very quick reply, Nicolas. I'll give that a try.

After creating a new user to install KDE 3.2 beta, I used Konstruct to make install 'meta'.
After making for about 8 hours, the process failed. The last few lines of the make output are as follows:
