kdeinit won't start

Beginner

I get the following error message when I try to start KDE in RedHat 9:

[root@localhost /]# kdeinit
kdeinit: error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[root@localhost /]#

But I do have the file libqt-mt.so.3 on my computer.

I tried adding the directory it is in to my PATH but I get the same error message.

Any help solving this problem would be appreciated.

In Redhat 8 & 9 libqt-mt.so.3 must be in your /usr/lib/qt-3.X.X/lib directory or found in your QTDIR environmental variable (or maybe your LD_LIBRARY_PATH I am not sure which) you can check it out by doing this:

export QTDIR=~/path/to/your/libqt-mt/dirctory

and then trying to start kdeinit. You may want to put this in your /etc/profile to make it permanent.
