Kopete 0.5

[Tyr_7BE]

Seems others have been able to get this thing to work, so why not me? What's the trick, people? I've compiled three different copies of the source, as well as the CVS, and I still get this exact same error msg. Does anyone know what the hell this might involve?

Looks like a problem with QT, but I can't be sure. Ideas?

Additional strange things: I checked the FAQ again at kopete.kde.org, and found something kind of similar. It pointed me to http://www.cmvacations.com/~error403/qtconfigfix.png. I checked out the picture there, and ran qtconfig. /usr/kde/3/lib/kde3/plugins is already there! So is /home/conor/.kde/lib/kde/plugins, and /usr/qt/3/plugins. So what's going wrong here? I'm using KDE 3.0, Gentoo linux 1.0, kde installed via portage. Any clues at all would be appreciated.

hi Tyr_7BE,
the only thing i have the slightest clue as to what this may be is two instances of the same lib installed, but different versions or a recursive link, e.g. a link that points at itself. sorry...

[Tyr_7BE]

I'll check it out. Thanks for the attempt, pbharris. Ordinarily when this sort of thing happens I just forget about it and let it happen a month or two down the road when I'm randomly upgrading software. The reason I ask this time is that I REALLY love kopete 0.4.1, but am REALLY annoyed with some of its lacking features and bugginess. From what I can see, everything that pissed me off in 0.4.1 is fixed/added in 0.5. I must have that messenger...if I have to reinstall KDE altogether. I owe my most sincere thanks to anyone who at least gives this a try, cause I'm turning myself inside out to find the problem.

Ummmm....K.....I finally got the CVS to compile by manually adding #include <klistview.h> and #include <kpushbutton.h> to the source, but am still plagued with these sorts of errors. I'll be manually fixing them, but if anyone knows of why this is happening I'd be much obliged.

I don't know - Kopete 0.5 installed flawlessly on my Gentoo 1.4 (both on stable and testing).

Does using Jabber make it sigsevg when you close it? I've been using CVS (in which jabber is broken) and when I tried the stable release, it still kept sigsevg'ing when I closed it.

[Tyr_7BE]

I'm afraid I can't say. I don't use Jabber. There was some VERY quirky behavior when all was said and done though (behavior similar to your problems, but with MSN). Then again it's CVS, and that's to be expected. That said, I am VERY happy with where kopete is going otherwise. This one really was a bitch to install, but when you want it bad enough...

Jabber is totally borked in Kopete for me... good thing you're the only one I talk to using Jabber atm.

but the problem seems that the author hasn't got the time to maintain the plugin right now, so it's kinda being pulled from the mainline.
