redirection error...can't read kdeinit

Right...so I installed RedHat9 along with KDE 3.1 (I think) and I updated it to 3.1.5. When I tried to use superkaramba, the mouse cursor would show the icon but nothing would happen. When I typed in the name in Konsole, it gave me this:

superkaramba: relocation error: /usr/lib/libkdeui.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN13QSplashScreen15mousePressEventEP11QMouseEvent

I thought it was something with myinstall of KDE or superkaramba, but then I noticed the same problem with some other KDE programs so I decided to reinstall. So I chose the drastic approach and completely installed rh9 but this time WITHOUT KDE. I downloaded and updated python 2.3.3 and libdb4.1 before installing KDE 3.2 (RPMs for rh9 downloaded from the official site). And now when I'm at my login screen and I try to start KDE guess what happens!!!

relocation error: /usr/lib/libkdeui.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN13QSplashScreen15mousePressEventEP11QMouseEvent

Yeah, the same exact thing. Except now KDE won't even start because it also gives me an error from kdeinit (can't read it I think...don't remember). What am I doing wrong?!

P.S. - to install KDE in the first place, I had to use --nodeps and --replacefiles...is it a problem with that?

RE: redirection error...can't read kdeinit

It is advisable never to use --nodeps while updating or installing packages.
It seems to be an issue with qt so check whether you update qt too along with the rest of kde. I think you need to have qt version >= 3.2.3 to run kde 3.2 . run "rpm -qi qt" and see what version it is, update qt if necessary.
