Where the files are on your system is of no concern. Whether ld(1) knows where 
they are is. ldconfig -r |grep Xau should show /usr/local/lib/libXau.so.6, if 
not, ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib run as root should fix your problem.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
and never get to the software part.

I'll guess the problem isn't related to KDE, but to X in general.  
Can you start twm as your local user?  With a minimal .xinitrc file?

KDE 4 Cannot run as regular user

2008-10-07 Thread Tom Stuart
Hello,

I just installed KDE4 via ports and am getting errors upon attempting
to start as a "regular" user. When I run startkde as root it works
fine but I don't want to use root on this machine.

Error Generated when started as a regular user
$ startx
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libXau.so.6" not found, required by "xauth"
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libXau.so.6" not found, required by "xauth"

/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libXau.so.6" not found, required by "xauth"

The files are there

I'm sure this is a very little issue but I appreciate your patience
and help in resolving this issue.

Best Regards,

Tom
