kde and libqt-mt.so.3

After I upgraded, I get the following message then kde dies.  I have a feeling it has something to do with qt 4 as I had qt 3 before upgrade:

kdostartupconfig: error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Try to reinstall qt3.

Re: kde and libqt-mt.so.3

Check whether /etc/ld.so.conf contains the line:

/opt/qt/lib

If not, insert it, and run ldconfig as root. Installing qt or qt3 should also have (had) the same effect.
There's been a similar case here.

Hope it helps.

@G_Syme,

After upgrading yesterday, I just got the same libqt-mt.so.3 error when loading applications such as Firefox and Grsync. Adding /opt/qt/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and running ldconfig fixed the problem, thanks!

Subsequently I realized my ld.so.conf also lost: /opt/kde/lib
which produced this error on running Konverter:

error while loading shared libraries: libkio.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Adding the missing line and running ldconfig also fixed this error.

Re: kde and libqt-mt.so.3

Hey guys.

I hvae the exact same problems with something in my MythTV setup --> http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=58229

I have the path in /etc/ld.so·conf - and getting this error constantly.
I've tried running ldconfig without any affekt.
I've reinstalled qt3 and qt - But still having this problems that closes my MythTV setup when wanting to show either recordings or music.

So please - do you have an idea of what the exact problem could be
