Fink Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 I'm having problems starting kwrite from the terminal as root. As a normal user I can access it without problems, but as soon as I try to start it as root, to edit files etc, I get this: kwrite: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Free Any ideas?

scarecrow Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 It's a typical Mandriva-specific KDE bug. You're not the only one to get that thing: https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=32718 Simply update... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Do you get the same error if you log into a gui as root? If not, try running as an ordinary user: $ kdesu kwrite It seems to work better for me than firing kwrite up driectly from a root konsole.
