I had a bit of trouble getting akonadi running. I'm not sure about the RPATH variable, but listed below are the steps I followed. dbus-1.2.12 --prefix=/usr --with-xml=expat mysql-5.1.33 --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/sbin --with-embedded-server --with-ssl -- with-plugins=innobase cd /usr/lib ln -sv mysql/* ./ <added the users to the system as per blfs as well> qt-4.5.0 (just confirm MySQL support ....... plugin, I'm not sure if dbus is required here, but I have it...) -prefix /opt/qt-4.5.0 The last thing I had to do was configure akonadi to use mysqld. Find your way to the akonadi configuration and confirm "Use internal MySQL server" is checked, and "MySQL server executable" points somewhere (/usr/sbin/mysqld for me.) Then click the test button. You'll probably still get a few log errors, but it shouldn't stop you. Note: To get to the akonadi configuration: Run akonadiconsole and then from the server menu, configure server. or, "akonadi configuration" from krunner or, you can get to it from the akonadi tray utility. Anyhow, a little off topic, but I wasted a chunk of time getting this sorted out, hopefully it's not the RPATH variable! ;).
