Hi all,

so, I got KDE-4.1 all build on my notebook, however not many programs works,
most complain about missing / unknown MIME types.

konqueror: shows a dialog for any URL asking what to use to "Open With...",
clicking on "Open With..." shows an Error: Could not find mime type
"application/octet-stream"

okular: has the nearly same hehaviour, ...

Google did not bring up much, anyone any idea what kde-4.x needs to get MIME
types and it's components right?

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 .

Ah yes, indeed! It was even me adding a sared-mime-info postinstall
some year ago:

Guess we need some way to automate it for "from source builds" and not
only for "binary build" installs ...

Yours,
