KDE-Forum.org

For the first time in over a year (we usually do it quarterly, but there were mitigating circumstances) we patched one of our Solaris 8 boxes that has KDE 3.4 installed. The first cluster included the 117350-39 kernel, the second one we tried is the latest with the -46.

After the reboot, KDE stopped working. I looked all over the place and while I found some vague references to similar things, I could not find a fix. It's the "dreaded" SUNW_1.1 / libz problem apparently. Even went as far as reinstalling some of the main packages, no luck. Here's the LDD output and a pvs on the libraries its squaking on. I consider myself to be pretty knowledgeable about Solaris, but I'm out of my league when it comes to this type of thing.
