g'day all,

I'm a complete newbie to FreeBSD and have been unable to get KDE2 working
from CD

I have installed 4.4 release from the CD (without X because my GeForce2
graphics card
requires XFree86-4.1)

Installed XFree86 4.1.0 from the CD using "pkg_add" and followed the
configuration guide
from the handbook.

Installed wrapper from ports (CD again)

X appeared to work fine at this point (still does - just not with KDE)


Installed KDE2 from the CD using "pkg_add". The installation process
appeared to work (no
error messages). I then appended .xinitrc as described in the handbook to
have KDE as my
default desktop. 

X works using the "startx" command but doesn't launch KDE

Attempting to manually launch KDE from within X gives the following error
message:

$ startkde
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libqt2.so.4" not found
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libqt2.so.4" not found
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libqt2.so.4" not found
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libqt2.so.4" not found
connect() failed: : No such file or directory
$


When I was first installing FreeBSD from CD, I installed it with X and KDE
through the
installation manager and it worked (just at very low resolution).

thanks


chris
