Hi Steven

I also had a problem similar, in the end i had to remove all packages and
install them again. the problem comes in when the version2 studio, conflicts
with the version 3 libs. if you do a pkg_info |grep kde do you see two
versions of kdelibs? thats what happened to me

Hope this helps
Ian Barnes

Dear Sir:

I have FreeBSD release 4.6 working in my PC.
The KDE (3.0.1 ? I forgot the exact version) coming with this release works
well.
But after I install the kde-studio 2.0.0 package, the disaster occurs.
I cannot start kde again. The X window seems still working.

The symptom now is like this:
After type
#startx
The X window occurs with white screen, and give a message "Couldn't start
ksmserver.

Check your installation."
The only action I can choose is a button <okay>.
Then I press the button. Then return to the console (command prompt screen).
#

So I think it may be because of the installation of kde-studio 2.0.0
package.
For some files do not come from the FreeBSD release 4.6 CD. These files are
downloaded

by myself. They may have some overwriting or conflict with the KDE.
These files are:
fam-2.6.8.tgz,
freetype2-2.1.1.tgz,
kdelibs-2.2.2_3.tgz,
kdestudio-2.0.0.tgz,
libiconv-1.8.tgz,
libxml2-2.4.22_1.tgz,
libxslt-1.0.18.tgz,
Mesa-3.4.2_2.tgz,
png-1.2.3.tgz,
qt-2.3.1_2.tgz.

#uname -a
FreeBSD  4.6-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE #0: Sat Jul 13 22:46:43 NZST 2002
root@:/usr/src/sys/compile/SOUNDKERN  i386
#

How can I solve this problem? I want my kde to come back working. I have so
much

things need to use it. And a re-installation of FreeBSD system is too too
troublesoum,

because I have lots of additional software and works files installed in the
system.

Could you please give me help?

I will be so much thankful if you can save my situation!

Regards.

Shen Zhijian.
