Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 109905
kde apps won't start because dcop server won't start
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:33 EST
Description of problem: This was true under RH 9 as well. Trying to start any kde application fails because it can't contact a dcop server. Trying to start a dcop yields this error: dcop: error while loading shared libraries: libpq.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Sure enough, my system doesn't have this lib, it has version 3. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Name : kdelibs Relocations: (not relocateable) Version : 3.1.4 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc. Release : 4 Build Date: Fri 17 Oct 2003 03:26:04 PM EDT How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start any kde program, for example kword. Or try to start dcop. Why in the world is this linked against the postgres libs, anyway?
Hm, something is broken on your system. kdelibs and kdebase is not linked against postgresql-libs! I cannot reproduce this problem here. please reopen it if you could give me a better testcase to reproduce this problem.

Nevermind. LD_LIBRARY_PATH contained a reference to a dev version of Qt 3. Thanks anyway.
