Confusion about the plugins loading procedure of Kontact.

[Kun Xi]

Hello mentors,

I know what is the problem:

Since I have installed the kdepim-3.4.1 to /usr/kde/3.4; and I
installed the soc-kontact-scripting to /opt/kde. When the kontact
lauched to load other parts,
it may load the library from 3.4.1 instead of scripting.

I would like to check how to override the library path in KDE for a
while, if not,
take the quick and dirty solution: uninstall the kdepim-3.4.1.

Best regards.
