Yes, it's a bug and you have found the workaround.

There was a bug about this that related to KDE and qt in general and this
specific one:
http://www.blastwave.org/mantis/view_bug_page.php?f_id=0000687
but it's closed although the problem still exists.  Ken?

Strange, it works for me:

$ ldd /opt/csw/kde-gcc/bin/knode | grep qt
        libqt-mt.so.3 =>         /opt/csw/lib/libqt-mt.so.3
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/csw/kde-gcc/lib ldd /opt/csw/kde-gcc/bin/knode \
    | grep qt
        libqt-mt.so.3 =>         /opt/csw/kde-gcc/lib/libqt-mt.so.3

It should work, provided each part has the correct paths.

That's another problem, I suggest you file a report with vcl about this.
