No longer able to import QFX

When I run KMyMoney from the command line, I'm seeing the following 
message concerning libofx:


KMyMoneyPlugin::PluginLoader:: createInstanceFromService returned 0 for 
KMyMoney OFX with error Cannot load library 
/usr/lib/kde4/kmm_ofximport.so: (libofx.so.6: cannot open shared object 
file: No such file or directory)


so, it appears to be something going on with my libofx installation.  
I'll see what I can figure out here and also check the Arch Forums for 
help if needed.

Thanks for your help with this!

Randy
