I do not think that will help, as his KDE is getting linked against a Qt in
"/usr/lib". Putting "/usr/lib/qt-2.2.1/lib" above "/usr/lib" in
"/etc/ld.so.conf" might help, though.

There is apparently no such thing as binary compatibility in C++ libraries
(which Qt is). You either get the library exactly right, or not at all. In
theory, as long as you have the right libraries installed, the dynamic linker
will pick the right one, but in practice, I've seen it guess wrong. I think
it might be that the changes to Qt are at a finer revision level (x.y.z) then
the dynamic linker is programmed to consider. That is just a guess, though.
