And now the right one
There were some problems with the tarball of Krita I put up yesterday evening, most notably a total lack of all the necessary KOffice libs. Silly me, I tried to correct another problem and created a broken tarball. This one does work for me, I tested it... Note that you really need to restart all of KDE to use the new version of Krita -- and SuSE users may need to put the same line in their .bashrc as users from other distributions.
Oh, and Tom Chance mailed me with an error that indicates that Krita really needs KDE 3.3.2 at least -- the startup script doesn't check for that. If you have an earlier version of KDE, you will see an error like:
Starting Krita ... ./.bin/krita: symbol lookup error: ./lib/libkofficecore.so.2: undefined symbol: _ZN11KMainWindow7setIconERK7QPixmap
Not having an old version of KDE, there's not much that I can do about it, I'm afraid.
