I had the same when I built KDE4 on OSX. What was it, hmm, I can check on friday. The problem is that the shared-mime-info package doesn't find the files installed by KDE. This can be fixed by setting the appropriate shared-mime-info environment variable and then running some shared-mime-info tool, I think it was update-mime-database . http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/shared-mime-info Alex
