KDE1 Programs Do Not Start

Support knowledgebase (kde1_73)
Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 7.3

Symptom

You want to use "old" KDE1 programs such as kmysql with SuSE Linux 7.3. However, you cannot start these applications.

Cause

These programs cannot find the necessary KDE files (e.g. Icons). The variable KDEDIR points to the KDE2 directory, which does not contain these files.

Solution

Set this path manually in a terminal:
export KDEDIR=/opt/kde
and start the desired KDE1 programs from this window.
