Hello, this probably is not the proper group. but could someone could help me out here. i checked out the CVS version of KDE and compiled on RedHat 6.2 system. I was able to successfully compile all. but when i started the session, the splash screen hung at 'Setting up interprocess comm..' for some time and quit with error message 'Cant talk to dcopserver' even though a quick ps did show dcopserver running. I captured the error message produced by the startx command and it contained lines like .... Link points to "/tmp/kde-tamil" Link points to "/tmp/ksocket-tamil" libpng warning: Incomplete compressed datastream in iCCP chunk libpng warning: Incomplete compressed datastream in iCCP chunk libpng warning: Incomplete compressed datastream in iCCP chunk libpng warning: Incomplete compressed datastream in iCCP chunk DCOPServer: pid = 24395 result = 0 DCOPServer: SetAProc_loc: conn 0, prot=local, file=/tmp/.ICE-unix/24397 KLauncher: pid = 24398 result = 0 DCOP: register 'klauncher_gomathiss_502' DCOP: register 'anonymous-24398' ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 24393, errno = 2 ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 24399, errno = 2 KDesktop: pid = 24400 result = 0 _IceTransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 _IceTransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 KUniqueApplication: Trying to launch kdeinit. kdeinit: Already running. _IceTransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 _IceTransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 FATAL: KUniqueApplication: Can't setup DCOP communication.
