[SOLVED] - KDE4.2 vanilla and compiz don't play

Question

toad@archie ~> kde4-window-decorator --replace
kde4-window-decorator: error while loading shared libraries: libplasma.so.2: cannot open shared object file: Nosuch file or directory
A locate libplasma comes up with versions 3 and 4 but no 2 and a pacman -Qo tells me libplasma is part of kdebase-workspace which is prolly hard to downgrade (but what do I know!).
Not that I hate emerald, but I do prefer kde4
Any ideas out there?

Good luck
toad@archie ~> locate kde4-window-decorator
/usr/bin/kde4-window-decorator
toad@archie ~> pacman -Qo /usr/bin/kde4-window-decorator
/usr/bin/kde4-window-decorator is owned by compiz-decorator-kde 0.7.8-2
toad@archie ~> pacman -Qi compiz-decorator-kde

Okay, so now I know which package it belongs to. Thing is, I'm already proud that I've achieved that! As for compiling against the current plasma lib, I'm afraid I haven't got a clue what you are talking about (but more than willing to learn if some compassionate soul will hold my hand or point me in the right direction).
