Very Computer

Hi there..  

I am hoping somebody may be able to help me sort out this annoying problem..

I have Mandrake 7.2 installed on two machines here. I have upgraded the
Kernel to 2.4.3 and everything is fine. I have also upgraded KDE from 2.0
to 2.1 using the Mandrake binary rpms from www.kde.org ...  However, when I
install the 2.1.1 binary rpms, when I log out and log in again, I
get the message 'There was an error setting up inter-process communications
for KDE. DCOPserver not running.' When trying to restart x, I get the above
message and can't get KDE to run... I have to remove the new packages, and
reinstall the old ones before KDE will run again..

I have tried everything I can think of to get it working, but without
success...

Are there any packages I need to upgrade other than the KDE ones to get
2.1.1 working, or is there something stupid I am forgetting to do? (Bit of
a newbie really.....)

Thanks for any help :)

you might
[X] search for the error message, there are already some threads about
it,
(even here in c.w.x.k)

I _guess_ that there is some problem if parts of other (previous) kde/qt
libs or even stuff in general is left on the system. as a quick
workaround to get
kde up again try starting it from /usr/lib (as well as any k-stuff you
might need) as it seemed to need libqt2.2 to be present in the current
working directory, (this odditiy might as well just have happened to me,
but give it a try).

As I've already posted above, I've found it to be easiest to clean my
system
_completely_ of all KDE/QT related stuff, and then reinstall it.

Drop me a PM if you were able to track it down more precisely, but for
me this looks like an version conflict issue.
