[kde-solaris] CSWqt libqt-mt (v.3.3.3) conflicts with KDE-gcc libqt-mt (v.3.3.4)

[Darin Perusich]

hi bob,

are you using kde 3.3.1 or 3.4.1? there are 2 QT packages released by 
blastwave, CSWqt and CSWqtgcc. KDE is built against the CSWqtgcc 
package, the both install into /opt/csw/kde_gcc. i'm running 3.3.1 and 
have both of the QT packages installed and am not having any problems.

do you have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set? if you do unset it as it will cause 
problems. we build all blastwave packages so you do not need it set. 
which QT and KDE packages to you have installed, 'pkg-get -c |egrep 
"(kde|qt)" |grep -v "Not installed"'?

submit a bug at http://www.blastwave.org/bugtrack/, you'll need to 
create an account but don't worry you won't get spamed only notified 
about said bug.

i'd also sign up for the blastwave users list and post this message 
there. i know it sounds wierd but this message really belongs on that 
list as this problem is very specific to the blastwave packages.
