Hello,

under /etc/profile.d there's a file kde.sh.rpmnew with the following
entry:

# Make sure KDEDIRS is set
[ -z "$KDEDIRS" ] && KDEDIRS="/usr" && export KDEDIRS

Is it now really KDEDIRS or should it be KDEDIR as in earlier days?


thanks
Olaf

KDEDIRS is preferred, KDEDIR is deprecated.

Why is there any need for KDEDIRS=/usr? /usr is already the prefix of KDE, at
installation. As least `kde-config --prefix` says so.

Is it strictly needed? no
Sometimes it helps...
Does it hurt anything if not explictly set? no
