>>> First of all, libproj.so.0 is provided by proj not k3b.  You may both the 64 and 32 bit versions installed on your system.  I would check that you have it/them installed and that the symbolic link to libproj.so.0.7.0 exits.

Thanks for this. The "yum whatprovides /usr/Lib64/libproj.so.0 revealed 
that somehow
the 64 bit version of proj had not been installed. With it now installed 
K3B is back functioning

functionality back.

Thanks for all the help.
