Some libraries are not found without LD_LIBRARY_PATH mangling

Hi,

 For me startkde fails to bring up the KDE4 desktop, and as I saw the 
main reason is that some applications fail to find the shared libraries 
they are linked to.
 If I run ldd * in /opt/kde4/bin (my KDE binary directory) without 
setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to first point to /opt/kde4/lib64 (the KDE 
library directory), the following libraries are not found:
blitztest:
        libqimageblitz.so.4 => not found

dolphin:
        libsoprano.so.4 => not found
        libsopranoclient.so.1 => not found

keditfiletype:
        libkparts.so.4 => not found
        libkpty.so.4 => not found

krunner:
        libkparts.so.4 => not found
        libkpty.so.4 => not found

ksmserver:
        libkparts.so.4 => not found
        libkpty.so.4 => not found

sopranocmd:
        libsopranoclient.so.1 => not found
        libsoprano.so.4 => not found

sopranod:
        libsopranoserver.so.1 => not found
        libsoprano.so.4 => not found


But many other libraries from /opt/kde4/lib64 are found, for example:

krunner:
        libplasma.so.1 => /opt/kde4/lib64/libplasma.so.1 
(0x00002b1d768f7000)
        libkworkspace.so.4 => /opt/kde4/lib64/libkworkspace.so.4 
(0x00002b1d76c3e000)
        libprocessui.so.4 => /opt/kde4/lib64/libprocessui.so.4 
(0x00002b1d76e52000)


It seems there is some problem that involves libsopranoclient, 
libsoprano, libsopranoserver, libqimageblitz, libkparts and      
libkpty. I don't know why these are different than the other KDE 
libraries.
