help with kde apps not working

Recent I noticed everytime I run kde apps, I get this error:

symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkdecore.so.4: undefined symbol: qt_x_user_time

I google this error and found a few site with folks reporting it. however, there is no good fix being posted. does anyone here know how to fix this problem?

To add more info, root can run kde apps fine. Problem only occurs with normal users

Quoted

It seems a problem with libraries PATH. It seems root gets the PATH correctly, but your user not.

There is an environment variable to set this path, but I cannot rememebr its name ;(, anybody out there can be more precise than me?

The environment variable is called LD_LIBRARY_PATH. To find out what it is set to type:

$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/opt/ACIS/lib/linux_so/:/opt/ACIS/bin/linux_so:/home/ensab/Staroffice/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/Qtopia/lib
$

Which for me gives the response you see. The library that stopped some KDE apps working in my path was /usr/local/Qtopia/lib at the end. For you it may be different.

To clear the path do

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=

Then gradually add directories to it like this:

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/ACIS/bin/linux_s

then run your failing KDE app. Go through each directory in the original list in turn until you find the one causing the problems.
