What is your CD-ROM device? kscd uses /dev/matcd0 as it's default
CD device (the *proprietry* Panasonic/Matsushita interface!). If
you don't have one it core dumps.
You can override this, but it's a catch 22. You need an entry in
ksdrc, but that is empty until you run kscd for the first time.
The file is ~/.kde/share/config/kscdrc and the entry you need is:
[General]
CDDevice=/dev/cd0c
Note that you need the section heading ([General]). If this doesn't
work (it did with KDE 1.0) then just ``rm /dev/matcd0'' and make
it a symlink to your real CD device. Someone mentioned a while ago
that they needed to use the raw device (rmatcd0 and rcd0 or whatever
is correct for your CD). Maybe this is a difference between v1.0
and v1.1?
In 1.0 there was also a problem with CDDB (the track list database).
This is an email I found in one of the KDE mailing lists detailing
it, maybe it's fixed in 1.1 though:

Check out the patches in the bug list area. I've posted a couple of patches
in the descriptions to the source to fix the problems I was having. The first
one changes a string in cddb.cpp (around line 276 and another around line
519) from Kscd to kscd (change in capitalization). For some reason, the CDDB
servers do not like the string with a capital letter?!?!?
Hope this helps everyone!
