Problems with KDE 3.5.1
I've just compiled and installed 3.5.1 (on FC4) and I am getting the following errors
- Konqueror I get the same error as documented in http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=kfmclient. I've tried various things to get around this problem, but nothing works.
- KMenuEdit - wont start from the RMB menu
- KControl display an empty widget for the panel config, same happens when I enter kcmshell panel in a konsole window. The following messages are displayed
kutils (KCModuleContainer): KCModuleContainer: module 'kicker_config_arrangement' was not found and thus not loaded
kutils (KCModuleContainer): KCModuleContainer: module 'kicker_config_hiding' was not found and thus not loaded
kutils (KCModuleContainer): KCModuleContainer: module 'kicker_config_menus' was not found and thus not loaded
kutils (KCModuleContainer): KCModuleContainer: module 'kicker_config_appearance' was not found and thus not loaded
[/list=1]
I had the same problems when I compiled 3.5. Any thoughts?

Did you already run kbuildsycoca ?

No, I hadn't!
Firstly, what is kbuildsycoca? What do it do? Should it be run as root?
Secondly, obviously I have now run it, both as root and as a normal user. But it has had no effect!

It searches for several components which KDE can use (for example, the modules inside the KDE Control Center are fetched). That way, KDE can quickly find a certain component. You don't have to be root since this data is stored inside /tmp, which is accessible for everybody.
Some questions left:
- Did you install KDE in a different prefix? If yes, make sure the $KDEDIR contains that prefix and $KDEDIRS as well (the latter may contain more than one prefix).
- Does kmenuedit say something useful when you run it from the shell?

Hi Bramm,
Thanks for your replies - they are appreciated.
Yes, $KDEDIR is set properly. I've also defined KDEDIRS=$KDEDIR, rerun kbuildsycoca but the problems are still there.
$echo $KDEDIR
/usr/local/kde
$echo $KDEDIRS
/usr/local/kde
$ll /usr/local/kde
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 4 15:24 /usr/local/kde -> kde-3.5.1/
The following is a portion of the output ftom kbuildsycoca
kbuildsycoca running...
kio (KSycoca): Trying to open ksycoca from /var/tmp/kdecache-kmg/ksycoca
Reusing existing ksycoca
kbuildsycoca: Recreating ksycoca file (/var/tmp/kdecache-kmg/ksycoca, version 93)

kbuildsycoca: processKDELegacyDirs()
kio (KSycoca): ERROR: No database available! <------------------------------ ???????

As for kmenuedit, the following message is written to ~/.xsession-errors when I select kmenuedit from the RMB menu:
kio (KLauncher): KLauncher: Got start_service_by_desktop_name('kmenuedit', ...)
BTW - the RMB menu I am referring to is the one from the kicker KMenu button
