For example, is dolphin or konsole opening ? For comparison, these applications are working fine for me. The problem could perhaps be linked to the discussion that occurred in July on macports-users list: "KDE4 apps don't launch". Here is below the fix that had been proposed: There's a bug in the way KDE4 is handled currently; I don't know what the correct fix is, but my current hack involves some launchd actions that create the necessary directories and symlinks thereto in ~/Library/Preferences/KDE.[[BR]] ln -s /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER $HOME/Library/Preferences/KDE/cache-$HOST[[BR]] ln -s $TMPDIR/ksocket-$USER $HOME/Library/Preferences/KDE/socket-$HOST[[BR]] ln -s $TMPDIR/kde-$USER $HOME/Library/Preferences/KDE/tmp-$HOST[[BR]] I have the first symlink. The second and third (ksocket and kde) were there but were linked to non-existent directories. Using find from the terminal I couldn't find a ksocket-* or kde-* directory anywhere. That's exactly the problem: the symlinks point to nonexistent directories, so kdeinit4 won't start up. You need to create the target directories:[[BR]] mkdir $TMPDIR/ksocket-$USER $TMPDIR/kde-$USER -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/29038#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

There have been several changes meanwhile which should have fixed various problems with KDE applications. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/29038#comment:12> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
