Re: KDE MIME issues
Gah. I spent a week doing clean rebuild after rebuild of KDE under a chroot, whenever I had some free time to play around. I never did manage to make the KSVG errors go away. This morning, I finally got around to building strace, and actually booted to the LFS partition to try it. Lo and behold, KDE magically is working. I'm not sure what change I made that fixed it; I'm not even sure anymore how many changes I made. :-P My best guess: Since I was installing under /usr instead of /opt, I assumed that I didn't need to update /etc/ld.so.conf or /etc/man_db.conf. (I interpreted the line If you are not installing KDE in /usr, you will need to make some configuration changes to mean that the rest of the instructions on that page only applied to installing under /opt.) At some point during the week, I know I manually added /usr/lib and /usr/man respectively to these files. Maybe that's what did it. :-P Anyway, I am happier now. :-) Thanks for the messages, and I'm glad strace was brought up. That looks neat!

I'll try to get that finished off soon.

I'm not a KDE person, so this is just a wild guess looking at the files that are installed by kdelibs. I have a directory full of protocols and other stuff in /usr/share/service. In particular, I see /usr/share/services/http.protocol. Maybe you're missing this file or the applications are looking in the wrong location. strace might help here. Something like: strace -f -eopen kdesktop And then look at all the places it's trying to open and see if they match your installation. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Re: KDE MIME issues
I'm trying a clean rebuild of KDE, and kdebase build chokes with this: ./.libs/libkdeinit_kdesktop.so: undefined reference to `KSVGIconEngine::KSVGIconEngine()' ./.libs/libkdeinit_kdesktop.so: undefined reference to `KSVGIconEngine::~KSVGIconEngine()' ./.libs/libkdeinit_kdesktop.so: undefined reference to `KSVGIconEngine::load(int, int, QString const)' ./.libs/libkdeinit_kdesktop.so: undefined reference to `KSVGIconEngine::image()' I have no idea if this is new, or if I just missed it the first time around, and that's how I got a mostly-broken KDE. Google dredged up a few people that ran into this problem when building from SVN head, but I can't find any reference to anyone having this problem with a stable release. I can't find any evidence of a KSVG package outside of kdebase or kdelib. Could there be a dependency I missed somewhere? -- William Tracy [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Vice President, Cal Poly Linux Users' Group http://www.cplug.org -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

As long as you have Qt and X installed you should not run into any dependency problems. I've build 3.5.9 and 3.5.10 in recent months and not run into this. At this point I would want to confirm that kdelibs did indeed build and install correctly, and to maybe run ldconfig before trying to build kdebase again. Good luck, Trent. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
KDE MIME issues
Hello, I'm trying to get KDE 3.5.9 working on my BLFS system. For simplicity, I installed it under /usr. Right now, it has some issues with MIME types. When I launch my startx script (containing the line exec startkde) I get the KDE startup screen and the KDE window manager, but not much else. (Artsd does launch, and then complains because I screwed up ALSA somewhere. I'm not very worried about that right now.) If I include xterm in my startx script, I can manually launch kicker and kdesktop from there. (I'm not sure if startkde is misconfigured, or if I'm just supposed to manually start those components.) The first time I select the Kicker menu, I get the error: Malformed URL: System:/ The menu appears after I dismiss the dialog box. When I launch kdesktop, I get the error: Malformed URL: file:///root/Desktop After I dismiss the dialog box, I get a desktop with no icons. Konqueror also has apparently never heard of that obscure protocol called http. ;-) I did build desktop-file-utils-0.13, but was fuzzy on where to place the configuration commands that are supposed to go in the user or system-wide profile. It's not obvious to me that putting them in .bashrc would work, so I dumped them into my .xinitrc. What's a saner location? When nothing else worked, I tried building shared-mime-info-0.21, but its presence doesn't seem to help. So, am I making some simple and stupid mistake? :-) -- William Tracy [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Vice President, Cal Poly Linux Users' Group http://www.cplug.org -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

I'm afraid I can't help with this, other than to mention that I've had both kde-3.5.9 and 3.5.10 running without building dekstop-file-utils or shared-mime-info. So, am I making some simple and stupid mistake? :-) probably not ;) I've attached a list of programs I have installed. The list mirrors the install order; any duplicate entries are programs that were re-installed for whatever reason.
