I think that the problem, is in your messages.
You say that it says:

	/opt/kde/bin/kappfinder: ${install_root}/opt/kde/share/apps/kappfinder

Notice that It doesn't say /opt/kde/......... but $install_root first.  This
is possibly your problem.
What is install_root?  If for example, your install_root is /opt/kde, then
this would translate to
/opt/kde/opt/kde/share/apps/kappfinder which is clearly wrong.

One (ugly) fix for this may be to place a symlink to fool it.  Again asuming
that your install_root is
/opt/kde, you could try

ln -sf /opt /opt/kde/opt

This would create a false directory path for /opt/kde/opt/kde/share/.......

That's how it looks to me anyway.

I use COL 2.2.
In KDE 1.1, kappfinder worked just fine. After updating to KDE 1.1.1, I get
the
following error when starting kappfinder:

	/opt/kde/bin/kappfinder: ${install_root}/opt/kde/share/apps/kappfinder: No
such
	file or directory
	Installing to /home/adriani/.kde
	find: apps: No such file or directory
	find: apps: No such file or directory

The funny thing is: the directory claimed not to be found is there !
I like this cute application and would like to go on using it.
Any help would be appreciated.
