A search for the error message didn't get me to anything useful. I've no idea what other information is need to solve this, so please tell me what I should try.
rpm -q kdelibs3 and rpm -V kdelibs3 please Otherwise, logout, try: rm -rf /tmp/kde-<username> rm -rf /var/tmp/kdecache-<username>
Hi Rex, thanks for your suggestions. $ rpm -q kdelibs3 kdelibs3-3.5.10-1.fc10.x86_64 $ rpm -V kdelibs3 doesn't return anything. I logged out into text console, removed the two tmp directories, rebooted, but the programs still crash with the same error.
Hi again, I found the problem. Your suggestion gave me the idea to check all installed packages for integrity. It turned out that qt3 had a problem: $ rpm -V qt3 ..5..... /usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.3.8 So I reinstalled qt3 and it works now. Cheers Stephan
