"kedit: relocation error: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.2: undefined symbol: FcInit"
I tried running ldconfig -X but I am still getting the same error. kdeinit fails as well so it appears that all kde based apps have got this problem. Could it be a problem with Qt or someother kde dependency. I am afraid I don't have idea of what is involved.
in /usr/X11R6/lib libXft.so.2 is just a sym link to libXft.so.2.0. Is that right?
I ran ldd /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.2 and got the following output
" libXrender.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.so.1 (0x6ffa6000)

I have kde 3.1.0 that I compiled using the garnome based kde app and
that runs fine. I don't have these apps in my path, just start them with ./

A package should Depend on anything it needs to run [1], especially libraries like this, so it's a bug somewhere if it's not working. As Alan said, libfontconfig provides this symbol. Have you rerun 'ldconfig -X' to regenerate the ld.so cache? That's all I can think of.Anyone have any ideas? I have tried reconfiguring libXft.so.2 but that didn't give me any options. I am running Sid on a powerpc with kde3.1 and gnome2.2 installed although I am actually trying to start konqueror in icewm, although I wouldn't think that would matter.It should work.
