I'm using KDE 3.2 on an x86 installation. Works great, but every time I reboot I need to remerge kdelibs before KDE works again.
Here's what I get when I try to startx after reboot:
| Code: |
startkde: Starting up...
kreadconfig: relocation error: /usr/kde/3.2/lib/libkdecore.so.4: undefined symbol: vent
ksplash: relocation error: /usr/kde/3.2/lib/libkdecore.so.4: undefined symbol: vent
kdeinit: relocation error: /usr/kde/3.2/lib/libkdecore.so.4: undefined symbol: vent
startkde: Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation.
Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory
ksmserver: relocation error: /usr/kde/3.2/lib/libkdecore.so.4: undefined symbol: vent
startkde: Shutting down...
Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory
Error: Can't contact kdeinit!
startkde: Running shutdown scripts...
kde-config: relocation error: /usr/kde/3.2/lib/libkdecore.so.4: undefined symbol: vent
startkde: Done.

It always relates to this same library, "libkdecore.so.4". I've done a test to try and figure this out. I took a copy of the file after remerging kdelibs, then rebooted. I then took a copy of the same file afterwards. Here's what I found:
| Code: |
$ diff libkdecore.so.4-*
Files libkdecore.so.4-after_reboot and libkdecore.so.4-before_reboot differ
|
| Code: |
$ md5sum libkdecore.so.4-*
a5b9da3a4585ecca7499ba2e397223e3 libkdecore.so.4-after_reboot
d50070cb081e262ddd43157f19a99fa1 libkdecore.so.4-before_reboot
|
However, the files are both the same size, 1976296 bytes.
My question is, why is this file becoming modified at reboot?
Any help on this much appreciated.
