libkaddressbookpart.so is installed in /opt/kde3/lib/kde3. Did you forget to run ldconfig?

Nope, thats not it. ran ldconfig, also ran /sbin/SuSEconfig I did a locate libkaddressbookpart.so it's right where it belongs /opt/kde3/lib/kde3 (I verified w/ konqueror) I also checked the rpm and it shows /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/libkaddressbookpart.so I've also tried starting kaddressbook under another login but still no luck Any other ideas? - -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+i2uzBwgxlylUsJARAiGZAJ9eJjyUeqbKazfsyWyjJuGj4Id1LwCeK1Xb SazxYzRVSp8wjjxSQz2vo5M= =2co2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

what does # ldd `which kaddressbook` |grep libkaddressbookpart.so print?

libkaddressbookpart.so => not found

does your /etc/ld.so.conf contain /opt/kde3/lib?

yes

what does # strace -f kaddressbook 2>&1 |grep libkaddressbookpart.so print? That was the money question, there was a fairly long output but the jist of it was;

open("/usr/local/kde/lib/kde3/libkaddressbookpart.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) So it is looking for the file in /usr/local/kde/lib... As a stopgap I added /opt/kde3/lib/kde3 to my /etc/ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig kaddressbook runs w/out errors from the shell now but still shows an error if run from its icon (although it opens its window just fine once the error has been announced) Looks like I may need to try compiling again w/ the configure --with-KDEDIR... option after all (export KDEDIR=... may not have been enough) Thanks for your help - -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+i326BwgxlylUsJARAghjAJ42yu8W/hQeRzqXCA4fuKgCvMZIiwCfQZBY NGKskxXaec+g7YaImlOc/gE= =zE57 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

The --prefix will be sufficient, since kde apps do very seldom use sysconfdir, because KDE provides the wonderful share/apps/ tree in $KDEDIR and $KDEHOME. Greets, Daniel

Thanks for the tip, the --sysconfdir is a hold over from my Gnome days :-).

OK, I'm back, takes awhile to recompile and re-install these 2 packages I just tried it both ways. ./configure --prefix=/opt/kde3 and ./configure --prefix=/opt/kde3 --sysconfdir=/etc/opt/kde3 (hadn't got this message before I started) Although Kontact and Korganizer both seem to work without problems Kaddressbook is still pretending to have problems. When I run Kaddressbook from its Icon I still recieve a requester saying "KDEInit could not launch '/opt/kde3/bin/kaddressbook'" then it starts up as if nothing is wrong. I've run ldconfig and /sbin/SuSEconfig after my installs. I'm starting to wonder if maybe its a problem w/ checkinstall. Another possibility is that I've built and installed both the kdenetwork-kontact and kdepim-kontact packages, has everyone installed both of these packages or are you only using kdepim-kontact? Heres the current output of # ldd `which kaddressbook` |grep libkaddressbookpart.so libkaddressbookpart.so => /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/libkaddressbookpart.so (0x40015000) # strace -f kaddressbook 2>&1 |grep libkaddressbookpart.so open("/opt/kde3/lib/kde3/i686/libkaddressbookpart.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/opt/kde3/lib/kde3/libkaddressbookpart.so", O_RDONLY) = 3 Regarding Patrick's suggestion I've always exited Kontact before trying to run any of the component programs so thats not it either.

We have a winner! Although kdenetwork-kontact, doesn't actually break 
kaddressbook it does appear to confuse it a bit.
Solved my problem w/ 
# rpm -e kdenetwork-kontact-3.1-1
Now I can run things in he container or separately, whichever I desire.

Thanks everyone for your help.

libkaddressbookpart.so is installed in /opt/kde3/lib/kde3. Did you forget to run ldconfig?

********************** I too have no trouble running any of the programs under Kontact by themselves. If Kontact is running or has been started, Kaddressbook will not start though. Check to see if Kontact is running with either top or Ctrl-Esc to see your system processes. If it shows up there, then kill kontact and try starting kaddressbook. Also, kontact didn't want to behave just after I installed, but a restart of KDE cleared things up and all is working great now, except for printing from kmail.
