Hi all I compiled qt then kdesupport kdelibs kdebase I installed qt in a seperate dir to be able to keep track of it. /qt-copy After system restart the kde desktop loads but without doing anything. When starting in commandline mode I discovered that the QTDIR variable was not set to qt-copy Rather then to find out where to change that I made a symbolic link from my old qt dir to the new one. After that I managed to start kde ONE time. Subsequent starts provoque the same problem as before. I am now forced using gnome until this issue is resolved. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
