<para>Remember to execute <command>ldconfig</command> after installation

<para>If you are not installing <acronym>KDE</acronym> in
<filename class="directory">/usr</filename>, you will need to make some
configuration changes:</para>
<para>Add to your system or personal profile:</para>

<tip>
<para>If you prefer installing <acronym>KDE</acronym> in
<filename class="directory">/opt</filename>, one trick to avoid the
above configuration changes every time you
install the new version is to replace
<filename class="directory">/opt/kde-&kde-version;</filename>
with <filename class="directory">/opt/kde</filename> and to create a symlink from
<filename class="directory">/opt/kde-&kde-version;</filename>
to <filename class="directory">/opt/kde</filename>.</para>
<screen><userinput><command>ln -sf kde-&kde-version; /opt/kde</command></userinput></screen>
