Could not start kdeinit4 - new installation:Kubuntu 8.10 + PloneUnifiedInstaller

[Guest]

I have done a clean Kubuntu 8.10 installation this morning.
Followed by apt-get update and g++ install.
Then used PloneUnifiedInstaller to install Plone, which includes adding a plone user.
Reboot to find "Could not start kdeinit4. Check your installation" error message.
Please help a newbie :-)

I have seen similar posts...

Solution:
rm /usr/local/lib/libz.so*

Man, you made my day! I know this post is years old, but I just wanted to say Thank You!
After I built zlib from source for a custom NetCDF installation using the Intel compiler suite I couldn't get into KDE anymore - removing the shared library objects from zlib (libz.so*) fixed it!
