Hi there Well I solved my probem: - partially. only the symptoms, but not its origin It's a problem with ldconfig or a problem with a script called by this. From my exeriment in self compiling KDE there have been additional shared libraries left, for example libkio.4.2.0 (KDE 3.1.2 version: *.4.0.0 in that case). In that case there should the following links being set: libkio.so -> libkio.so.4.0.0 libkio.so.4 -> libkio.so.4.0.0 Both are needed. The problem: libkio.so.4 has been set to libkio.so.4.2.0. I don't know why, but the reinstalling did not delete those wrong dynamic links. So I deleted and reassigned them manually (about 10 files). I do have only one problem left: When I compile a KDE program by myself and install it via "make install" ldconfig does some strange and weird things: It reassigns those links again (in the example's case to libkio.so.4.2.0). Well. I don't know what's wrong. Maybe someone can tell me how I can repair my ldconfig configuration. Best Regards Sebastian Sebastian Wolff wrote:
Hi all!
A few days ago I possibly made a big mistake - and now I don't know how to solve it.
I'm running SuSE 8.1 (i386) with updated KDE 3.1.1 rpms. I tried out a patch to give KWin window shadows that implied to compile the KWin module of the kdebase package.
So I downloaded kdebase3-3.1.1 sources and compiled kwin. It seemed that kwin was not compatible with other components. It did not start.
Compiling the whole kdebase package and running "make install" seemed for me to be right.
After that kdeinit aborted during the first phase of the splashscreen ("setting up interprocess commmunication...") giving the error "DCOP Server could not be started).
So I run "make uninstall": no change. I reinstalled the kdebase packages: no change. I updated to KDE 3.1.2: no change: "DCOP server could not be started"
If I call a KApp from xterm it says:
====================================== DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Could not open network socket Could not dlopen library dcopserver.la: /opt/kde3/lib/dcopserver.so: undefined symbol: _KDE_IcePoMagicCookie1Proc dcopserver: relocation error: /opt/kde3/lib/dcopserver.so: undefined symbol: _KDE_IcePoMagicCookie1Proc kdeinit: DCOPServer could not be started, aborting. DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Could not open network socket kio (KSycoca): Trying to open ksycoca from /home/light/.kde/cache-alf/ksycoca kio (KSycoca): Could not open ksycoca ======================================
Starting dcopserver from bash gives:
dcopserver: relocation error: /opt/kde3/lib/dcopserver.so: undefined symbol: _KDE_IcePoMagicCookie1Proc
The interesting thing: Removing all KDE packages and reinstalling works sometimes. - until I install any other package or compile any program via "make install". And now it is broken completely.
So, how you can see I need your help. I'm thankful for any ideas.
Thanks and Best Regards
Sebastian
