[Kopete] Compile Error with Slackware 10

Beginner

Hello.
I am using Kopete 0.8.3 in which Yahoo no longer connects. I tried to use CVS and everything turned out ok. When I tried to run Kopete, I received the following error:
[code:1]cern@sw:~$ kopete
QObject::connect: No such signal KopeteAccountManager::accountOnlineStatusChanged(KopeteAccount*,const KopeteOnlineStatus&,const KopeteOnlineStatus&)
QObject::connect: (sender name: 'KopeteAccountManager')
QObject::connect: (receiver name: 'KopeteSystemTray')
kopete: relocation error: kopete: undefined symbol: _ZN6Kopete2UI6Global13setSysTrayWIdEi
kopete: ERROR: Communication problem with kopete, it probably crashed.
[/code:1]
Thinking QT was the problem, I upgraded to qt_3.3.2. Still get the same error. So I downloaded and compiled 0.8.4 and still no resolution.

I did a search of the forum, no solution. I hope I just did not overlook something.

try removing $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kopete and $HOME/.kde/share/config/kopeterc

if that doesnt work, remove all versions of kopete and recompile kopete from a stable source.

Original von Cern

I don't think this is an error that the developers must fix but rather a problem with your installation. This kind of error can occur when a program picks up a wrong, incompatible version of a library.

Do you have more than one version of kopete installed?
For example one from your distribution and one that you compiled yourself?

You might try to uninstall the one from your distro in that case.

I deleted $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kopete and $HOME/.kde/share/config/kopeterc and was able to sucessfully compile and run kopete. Thank you.
