This is the infamous libpng upgrade bug. If you search the gentoo-user and gentoo-dev archives fr the last two weeks for libpng and kde, you'll have lots of results. You can verify that that's your problem by running any kde app from konsole or another xterm. You should get messages abut a missing libpng.so.2. (If you don't, tell me that my analysis is wrong and paste any interesting output that you do get). Briefly what happened was that a new version of libpng was added, which you must have gotten via world update, which replaced the old version's files but isn't binary compatible. So: a) recompile all libpng-linking apps, icnluding qt and ALL kde apps (sorry!) OR b) make a symlink /usr/lib/libpng.so.2 -> /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 (may not work, but if it does, you'll be ok). So, try (b) first. If it doesn't help, do (a). In which case, you need to ahve lots of patience since the compiles are long :-( Hi, It has recently come to our attention that the defaul bugzilla user settings disable mailing of comments. I.e. you probably haven't recieved my comments. Please look at them now and follow them out if applicable. Or, tell me if the bug persists. Closing due to lack of input, assumed fixed. |
