Normally, my KDEDIRS environment variable is "/usr/kde/3.5:/usr:/usr/local:/opt/des". If I start Kopete in this configuration, it cannot find any of its plugins or settings modules. For example, the "Settings"->"Configure" menu option will open the configure dialog, which displays the error message: "/usr/kde/3.5/lib/kde3/kcm_kopete_accountconfig.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". I have verified that kcm_kopete_accountconfig.so exists, and is installed in the usual place (/usr/lib/kde3). WORKAROUND: I have to put /usr as the first element in KDEDIRS (e.g. "/usr:/usr/kde/3.5:/usr/local:/opt/des"). Kopete then starts as expected. This problem just started with the upgrade to kdelibs-3.5.4-r2. (I believe this upgrade switched the path entries in $KDEDIRS around.) I do not have the other version of Kopete (kde-base/kopete-3.5*) installed.
