So here it is, late, but, as far as I know, not yet fixed: I was running 3.3 at home with KDE. I decided to install GNOME/ Enlightenment from CD. This made the KDE libs cease to work (linker error message about missing symbols in libkdedui.so.2 among others. It's been a while, I have forgotten the precise messages.) I never bothered to fix it, as I planned on upgrading to 3.4 very soon after. Later I installed 3.4 on a test box at work. I installed KDE and GNOME libraries, core, etc. (Everything under the rspective entries in sysinstall). And KDE again failed. To prevent this at home, I avoided installing any KDE ports at first. However, one port required kdelibs as a dependency. I later installed KDE, and, as expected, KDE apps were broken. I did pkg_delete on kdelibs and reinstalled from CD and KDE worked. At work, the fix was not so easy. I tried to reinstall kdelibs from the ports directory and the errors persisted. (I plan on bringing in the CD and reinstalling from CD tomorrow. I will update then.) >How-To-Repeat: Install KDE and GNOME simultaneously, or GNOME after KDE. Run any KDE application. Kpat, kshisen, and kmahjongg are three I recall failing (and core dumping). >Fix: Remove kdelibs and then reinstall. (Does not always seem to work.) >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
