Yes you can run it.

Installing the kdevelop package from tdyc will also pull in any packages that kdevelop depends on, including 'pucka' versions of the KDE and QT libraries (kdelibs2g and qt2g).

You can let CorelUpdate install these libraries, they won't cause CorelUpdate to uninstall anything, and they will be put in '/usr/lib' while the Corel ones are in '/usr/X11R6/lib'.

However, if you try running kdevelop, you'll just get a 'Segmentation Fault'. The problem is that the dynamic loader looks for libraries in '/usr/X11R6/lib' before '/usr/lib', and therefore kdevelop is trying to use Corel's specials, and they don't work for kdevelop.

So, edit '/etc/ld.so.conf' and insert '/usr/lib' ahead of '/usr/X11R6/lib', then run 'ldconfig'.

This does seem to do the trick, KDevelop will now run, but also the Corel software seems to still work. I've been running like this for a few days and I've not had any seg faults.

p.s.

For anyone whose not come accross KDevelop, it's an integrated development enviroment for C/C++. You can install it with CorelUpdate using these settings:
