Sorry Bob - that didn't quite work. I did something like the following;
mkdir /usr/lib/libkde3
cp /root/kdelib3/usr/lib/* /usr/lib/libkde3/
vi /etc/ld.so.conf
{ add the path /usr/lib/libkde3 }
ldconfig
start varicad - runs ok - no SEGV - cool.
start konqueror - SEGV
remove the lib path from ld.so.conf and ldconfig, konqueror runs ok now.
Hmmmm.
James.
