Library problems with KDE3.1 under SuSE 7.2
Hello. I've recently installed KDE3.1 on my SuSE 7.2 system, and I've encountered some difficulties. Whenever I right click the pager and choose "Configure Virtual Desktops", I get a popup window that says: "There was an error loading the module". The diagnostics line reads: 'Library files for "libkcm_konq.la" not found in paths' I get a similar message if I right click the desktop and choose "Configure Desktop", and then pick the "Desktop" item from the list on the left. Why is libkcm_konq.la missing? Did I forget to install something, is something misconfigured, or is there a file missing in the distribution? -John

I had the same error message some time ago when I installed the rc versions of kde3.1, however iI did get the error in control center when I looked at the konqui configuration. It dissappeared when I installed the kde3.1 release (for SuSE8.1 and the latest snapshots. I also searched everywhere for "libkcm_konq.la", and I did not find it, even not on another system which did NOT show this error. So I assume it is not that this file is missing, but that there is a bug in some code. Somehow I have the feeling that it could help to install the kde2 compat. rpm. I did this together with the release installation, so it could be that it is involved somehow. If I got it right, "libkcm_konq.la" originally belongs to kde2. HTH, Matt T.

You did not search good enough :) (at ftp.gwdg.de); /ftp/pub/linux/suse/apt $ zgrep libkcm_konq.la Ap* | sort -u AptContents.SuSE-7.3-i386.gz:opt/kde2/lib/kde2/libkcm_konq.la X11_KDE_Base/kdebase

It should help to install the rpm kdebase (that is without 3). -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

Installing kde2-compat fixed this problem for me!

I should have been more specific: I did not find it on my desktop and on my notebook, and also not on the hdd with my old kde instalations. "libkcm_konq.la" was not there, even on the installation which did run fine. However a web search result like you mention above, - yes, I did search there and find a similar result ;-) - did show me that installing the "libkcm_konq.la" belongs to kde2, and that is why I assumed that installing the kde2 compat. rpm did fix it for me.

what do you mean with "without 3"? kdebase for kde2? because kdebase for kde3 has been installed of course. If this error shows up if the kde2 compat rpm is not installed, I would say it is a (small) bug. kde3 should not require an to be installed as upgrade on old kde2 installation, or together with the kde2 compat rpm, or it should be mentioned in the installation guidelines, shouldn't it?
