The .so files seem to be in kdegraphics, whereas the .la files are in 
kdegraphics-libs. I had both the .la files, but only the i386 .so file.

Here's the problem:
[root@bootp-27 log]# grep kde messages
...
Jun 17 12:24:01 bootp-27 yum: Installed: kdegraphics - 7:3.5.9-2.fc8.i386
...
I ended up with the wrong one of those, for some reason. Uninstalling 
and then installing the x86_64 manually fixed the problem. I take it I 
do NOT want both versions of kdegraphics, right?

Any idea why that might have happened? This was a normal "yum update". A 
yum issue?
