kdeinit can't start (kde3.2)

New to ArchLinux. (experience = novice/intermediate).

I've a clean install of the base system. Basic X works ok cause I can run XFCE.

I've downloaded and installed kdebase and kdelibs for KDE3.2  but kde won't start with these messages:
'could not start kdeinit - check your installation' (press ok), with the terminal messages:

ot@Surgery1 root]# startkde
startkde: Starting up...
startkde: Running kpersonalizer...
/usr/X11R6/bin/iceauth:  creating new authority file /root/.ICEauthority
kwin: relocation error: /opt/kde/lib/libkdeui.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN13QSplashScreen15mousePressEventEP11QMouseEvent
kpersonalizer: relocation error: /opt/kde/lib/libkdeui.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN13QSplashScreen15mousePressEventEP11QMouseEvent
ksplash: relocation error: /opt/kde/lib/libkdeui.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN13QSplashScreen15mousePressEventEP11QMouseEvent
kdeinit: relocation error: /opt/kde/lib/libkdefx.so.4: undefined symbol: _Z14qt_inheritedByP11QMetaObjectPK7QObject
startkde: Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation.

Any help appreciated. Anyone with some patience feel free to email me personally at rterry@gnumed.net

thanks.

Re: kdeinit can't start (kde3.2)

Have you run

pacman -Sy pacman && pacman -Syu

to get your system completely up to date? That's a binary compatibility error.

I have the exact same problem. And I just did pacman -Syu :cry:

Solved!
Add /opt/kde/bin to your PATH (/etc/profile)

Or log out and log back in, because it's already included in a file called /etc/profile.d/kde.sh!
