I had the same problem with Slackware64 4 months ago (Slackware64 uses
lib64 too): no /opt/kde3/lib64/kde3 libraries were found (but I didn't
know strace, so I didn't find the origin of the problem).

It probably originates from a Debian/Ubuntu patch:
-Debian/Ubuntu uses lib instead of lib64
-Debian/Ubuntu developers don't mind of the portability of their patches
-The Trinity source was based on KDE 3.5.10 with Debian/Ubuntu patches
