Re: [newbie] RE: mandrake control center unreachable
There might be something wrong with te way I partitioned my harddisk. Installing redhat also went wrong. So I tried to re-partition harddisk with Partitionmagic and got a lot of error messages. One of these days I'll fdisk evrything out and start from scratch. I'll let you know if this works. Thanks.

We have enumerated our saddles, bridles, tents and tent poles, and all manner of sundry items for which His Majesty's Government holds me accountable. I have dispatched reports on the character, wit, and spleen of every officer. Each item and every farthing has been accounted for, with two regrettable exceptions for which I beg your indulgence. Unfortunately the sum of one shilling and ninepence remains unaccounted for in one infantry battalion's petty cash and there has been a hideous confusion as the the number of jars of raspberry jam issued to one cavalry regiment during a sandstorm in western Spain. This reprehensible carelessness may be related to the pressure of circumstance, since we are war with France, a fact which may come as a bit of a surprise to you gentlemen in Whitehall. This brings me to my present purpose, which is to request elucidation of my instructions from His Majesty's Government so that I may better understand why I am dragging an army over these barren plains. I construe that perforce it must be one of two alternative duties, as given below. I shall pursue either one with the best of my ability, but I cannot do both: 1. To train an army of uniformed British clerks in Spain for the benefit of the accountants and copy-boys in London or perchance: 2. To see to it that the forces of Napoleon are driven out of Spain. -- Duke of Wellington, to the British Foreign Office, London, 1812 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

You're going to want to edit your /etc/profile file - in it, put the
following with the other path statements:
KDEDIR='/usr'
Then with the exports
Export KDEDIR
*** NEXT!
You need to edit your /etc/ld.so.conf file and add the following lines:
/usr/lib
/usr/local/lib
...after doing that, and saving the file, type ldconfig
Now reboot and try your stuff again mate!
