Installed kde 3.5.4 from pkg_add -r kde and everything installed fine. I put in my ~/.xinitrc file: startkde but I keep getting this error: /usr/local/bin/startkde: permission denied startkde: could not start kdeinit. check your installation I have changed the entry in .xinitrc to : exec startkde # and to /usr/local/bin/startkde with the same results. I also cannot start kde as root, I get the same thing. kdeinit is: -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 39876 Oct 6 01:18 /usr/local/bin/kdeinit I have tried changing permissions on kdeinit but with the same result. I have also removed the kdebase package and reinstalled it, but with the same results. I've searched everywhere and have seen the same problems posted with different OS's and versions of kde but nothing solid as to solutions. anybody got any ideas? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
