Hello Klaus, I'm copying the MacPorts users mailing list on my reply: this would be the first place to ask about problems like you are having with ports. I'll try to answer what I can. Hopefully someone from the list will provide additional details. - Running from a terminal using `open -a ...` is exactly the same thing as launching by clicking on an app icon. What I meant is that you need to launch it as a traditional Unix application: `/Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/Okular.app/Contents/Mac*/okular` - Other KDE or Qt software: have a look what applications are already installed /Applications/MacPorts/Qt4 and /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4! You will probably have a few official Qt applications like Assistant in the Qt4 folder. Try these first. If your KDE4 folder is otherwise empty the first additional candidate to install is `port:kde4-baseapps` .
