Hi everyone! I'm trying to install KDE4 on a BLFS system at the moment. I spent several hours recompiling and googling, so now I will just ask this list for help.
The problem is that although the KDE4 system builds without errors (dind't run the tests) and I can run startx, I end up with a semi-functional desktop. This is because the window decorations are missing completely and the windows behave strange (application startup menu going under all other windows when I hover the mouse over the menu at any position where another window is "behind" the menu, only the first opened program gets keyboard focus etc). I had KDE3 installed to /usr, but deleted it in order to eliminate all possible compatiblity issues. KDE4 is located at /opt/kde. I believe I traced this error back to kwin. When I try to start kwin from console or from konsole (KDE4 running) I get the following error message: kwin: error while loading shared libraries: libkdeinit_kwin.so: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory I searched for the file on my filesystem, but I couldn't find it anywhere. Instead, I have libkdeinit4_kwin, which was built and installed during the compilation of kdebase. I noticed that some programs in the /opt/kde/bin directory end with "4", while others don't. The ones that don't seem to be linked against the old names of their libraries, the ones used in KDE3. Copying the KDE4-named libs and naming them like their KDE3 pendants left me with the same error. I tried both KDE from the ftp server (4.3.1) and the newest branch version from SVN. Any suggestions? Thank you very much in advance. - Philipp -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
