Hi everyone,
I installed KDE 4.5 today, and when I start the session, it displays the splash screen but crash and show me the error message
"Could not start kdeinit4. Check your installation."
I already looked for information in the wiki and google, and I'm really lost.
Thanks for you help.

Do you use KDM as daemon to start KDE?

exec ck-launch-session startkde
Thanks

I fixed. The solution is to edit /usr/bin/startkde:
LD_BIND_NOW=true /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/start_kdeinit_wrapper +kcminit_startup
if test $? -ne 0; then
# Startup error
echo 'startkde: Could not start kdeinit4. Check your installation.' 1>&2
test -n "$ksplash_pid" && kill "$ksplash_pid" 2>/dev/null
xmessage -geometry 500x100 "Could not start kdeinit4. Check your installation$
exit 1
fi
and break the line:
LD_BIND_NOW=true
/usr/lib/kde4/libexec/start_kdeinit_wrapper +kcminit_startup
That's all
