In those days you had kde 3.1 you compiled some software that is needing KDE
and now it tries to find the old library file from 3.1, which you seem to
lack. To fix this problem, you need to recompile all extra packages for KDE so
that they use kde 3.4 libraries. You can't manually change the paths as the
paths are compiled into the binaries.
