Kmail doesn't start

Hi,
I'm having trouble with kmail, it doesn't want to start, here's what I get :

[code:1]~$ kmail
kmail: relocation error: /usr/lib/libkmailprivate.so.0: undefined symbol: _ZN12KTextBrowser15createPopupMenuERK6QPoint[/code:1]

I tried to uninstall/reinstall kdepim, but it didn't change anything
I am running kde3.2.3 with debian2.6.7

Does anyone have an idea?

thx

Felix

I think this happens when you use mix versions of libraries. If you are using binary kmail could have been built against libraries different from your system. You already reinstalled everything but is everything from the same version or are you using the latest from each component?

If you compiled from source maybe the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not correct but that's just a guess.

I had a similar problem once but in my case I had to install a *-compat library because my libraries were the latest an were incompatible.

the trouble showed up after a apt-get upgrade, so it might be because all libs are the latest, and are not the good version

I tried :
[code:1]
apt-get --reinstall install kdepim/testing
apt-get --reinstall install kmail/testing
[/code:1]
because I was in "unstable" before, be the problem stays the same
