KDE and Qt have changed out of sight in the 6 or 7 years since Kylix was alive. I will bet dollars to doughnuts that the old binaries will not run on a modern KDE system, so the old Qt libraries were simply incorporated statically into some new binaries. Of course, I could be wrong. ... :-) [BTW, how is your card game coming along?
