Did you recompile from source or take the RH 6.1 binary ?
The 6.1 RPM binary didn't work for me on my vanilla RH 6.1,
because of some libjpeg incompatibility (it looks for libjpeg.so.6
but only libjpeg.so.62 is available). Was the build system for the RPM
really a cleanly installed RH 6.1 ? I doubt it, otherwise this wouldn't happen.
Anyway, forcing the install and creating the missing link to libjpeg.so.6
didn't fix it :(

After recompiling the thing from the source tar-ball I had no trouble so far.
Great work :)

By the way, the RPM installs into /opt/kde per default. RH 6.X has
kde stuff in /usr per default, you should probably change that.
While someone who is proficient in the use of RPM can easily relocate
the package, I guess many don't and fail.

Best,
Mathias
