How is Qt registered with LD.SO?

Look in the file: "/etc/ld.so.conf".

If you have it listed as: "qt3" then you will need to run (as root): 
"ldconfig" after you switch the symbolic link.

If you have it listed by the actual name of the directory, then you will 
have to first change it and then run: "ldconfig".

ALSO make sure that you built Qt with the "thread" option.

There is also another possible problem with NO solution.  The LibStdC++ 
that comes with GCC-3.1.x is not the same as the one installed with your 
system.  It is possible that they are not compatible and then the KDE 
binaries simply will not work with Qt compiled with the new (GCC-3.1.x) 
compiler.
