Confused about upgrade path...

[Ralph Mack]

Hello all,

I upgraded my system to Red Hat Linux 7.3 recently, which comes with KDE 
3.0
and KDevelop 2.1. I also have the kde1-compat and kde2-compat stuff 
installed.
My automake and autoconf are:

I had been working on a project using KDE 2.x and KDevelop 2.0 before 
that.
The project built and ran. In the new environment, I am unable to build 
my
project. Somewhere along the line, I may have messed up my settings, as I
wasn't sure which of the myriad directories I needed to point to for KDE
and QT stuff. Specifically, I have:

Qt 2.x directory [sic] /usr/lib/qt3-gcc2.96
KDE 2.x directory [sic] /usr/lib/kde2-compat

In any case, the crux of the matter seems to be on the link. In the 
compile
options, I have the kdecore, kdeui, and kfile options checked. The 
problem
seems to come with kfile. Here's my link output. (Note: I also explicitly
include cppunit, but that is my only additional library.)

If I explicitly specify -L/usr/lib/kde2-compat/lib, it builds but core 
dumps
when I run it. I tried using /usr/lib/kde3 in my project options but got 
the
same effect. I finally added a link in my /usr/lib directory.

ln -s kde2-compat/lib/libkfile.so.3 libkfile.so

This let the thing build without explicitly specifying the directory in 
the link
options. Finally, I ran my program in the debugger. Not surprisingly, it 
is
bombing in a method in libkfile:

0x400de27c in endl() from /usr/lib/libkfile.so
0x403ddfb4 in KLocale::doBindInit() from /usr/lib/libkdecore-gcc2.96.so.4

The kfile stuff is being used by boilerplate generated for the original 
project,
not from my own code. Given that KDE is going well out of its way to 
discourage
me from using it, where do I go from here?
