Hi all,

I just installed opensuse 11.2 and on autoboot into runlevel 5 I got
"kdeinit4: error while loading shared libraries" . Neither dmesg or /
var/log/messages gave me any obvious clues on the problem. I did no
other updates beside an install. I did a "telinit 3" and startx gave
me this error:

yast2 via the shell tells me fam and fam-dev is installed. "locate
libfam.so.0" after running updatedb doesn't show the file installed.
This tells me its installed I think but its not:

dhcppc0:~ # rpm -q --whatrequires libfam.so.0

libgio-fam-2.22.1-2.2.i586

dhcppc0:~ # rpm -qa | grep libkde4

Please help!

I tried to install a second time - this time using ext4 instead of
ext3 - and it worked. Strange but glad its fixed.
