I ran the chmod command above just to make sure. The are several versions of qt on my system, viz. [graeme barney lib]$ ls qt* qt2: bin doc include lib qt-2.3.1: bin doc include lib qt-3.0.5: bin etc lib plugins qt-3.3: bin etc lib phrasebooks templates doc include mkspecs plugins translations [graeme barney lib]$ I ran the chmod command on all of them. As you can see, lib-mt.so.3 is a symbolic link to a later version. [graeme barney lib]$ ls -la libqt-mt.so.3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Jul 14 17:06 libqt-mt.so.3 -> libqt-mt.so.3.3.2 [graeme barney lib]$ The problem appears to be only associated with KDE applications, e.g., quanta, Korganizer, Kmail etc. and always the same library. I have re-installed a heap of RPMs, including all the KDE related RPMs but nothing seems to fix the problem. Do you have any further ideas. I don't really want to re-install FC2 if I can possibly avoid it. Also, can you recommend a simple backup utility that can follow symlinks, hardlinks and make a COMPLETE backup of particular directories. Flexbackup is almost useless, particularly as the man page is in error and restoring files won't work for me. tar fails because it complains of the backup being too large and bombs out. Mirrordir wont follow hard links, although the idea is great. cp is OK except it won't follow hard links either. Pumps out a lot of errors to that effect, particularly in /usr. TIA, ps. sorry about the delay in getting back to you, but I haven't had a lot of time and I've only just got the system back up enough to connect to the internet. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kind regards, Graeme Nichols. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- QOTD: "She's about as smart as bait." ----------------------------------------------------------------------
