Sorry, my mistake.  There is a problem, but I described it
incorrectly.  Let me try again.

The following file exists:

~/Programs/KDE-Libs/3.5.5/Shared/apps/dcopidlng/kalyptus

The following symlink exists:

~/Programs/KDE-Libs/3.5.5/share -> ~/System/Links/Shared

But the following does not exist:

~/System/Links/Shared/apps

Therefore, the following does not exist:

~/Programs/KDE-Libs/3.5.5/share/apps

Therefore, the attempt to access kalyptus at the following path fails:

~/Programs/KDE-Libs/3.5.5/share/apps/dcopidlng/kalyptus

Questions:

Should "~/System/Links/Shared/apps" be:
(1) a directory that contains symlinks to files, or
(2) a symlink to a directory ?

Should the directory/symlink be created by SymlinkProgram, or somehow
else?  (In other words, what part of Compile is actually responsible
for creating the directory/symlink?

I have tried re-running "SymlinkProgram -v kde-libs", and it outputs:
"SymlinkProgram: Symlinking shared..."
But it does not tell me anything more and it does not create "apps".

I have not retried "Compile kde-libs" as that takes several hours, and
I'm hoping I can just rerun the symlink step by itself.

Thanks!
