Hello,

   I had a similar problem once and it was due to the fact that
   my LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment VAR contained /opt/sfw/lib.
   The sun freeware companion CD contains lots of useful stuff
   But its all compiled with GCC and might also be older versions
   of the library you need.

   If you are finding an older version  of libqt-mt.so.3  instead of the one
   you are supposed to find or any KDE shared object that is not in  /opt/kde-3.1.4/lib,
   or the correct version produced by a different compiler,
   there will be discrepancies between what the app
   belives to be in the shared object, and whats in the shared object the
   ld.so.1(1)  loader actually finds.


   You will have to make sure that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH that is used when
   you start KDE does NOT reference any directory that contains  shared objects
   with identical names to the shared objects in /opt/kde-3.1.4/lib.

   As Stefan has built the binaries with  the -R ld flag it does not need
   you to specify the LD_LIBRARY_PATH at all.  If you do specify it , it will
   preceed the hardcoded paths in the search path. If you have a shared object with
   the correct name but the wrong content in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH you will
   see the result you report.

   doing

   # cd /opt/kde-3.1.4/bin
   # ldd kcontrol

   will list the shared objects this binary (kcontrol ) uses.

   # pldd pidnumber_for_kcontrol

   will list the shared objects ld.so.1  found and linked in, as will:

   # pmap pidnumber_for_kcontrol


   This should hopefully enable you to find where in you filesystems you have
   leftovers form an earlier KDE installation.
