Kopete 0.8beta2 - empty config window

Building on Mandrake 9.2, KDE 3.1.3, finally got everything built, but when I start kopete I get a window 'Configure - Kopete' displayed with an empty list on the left hand side and 'Empty page' displayed on the right. Plugins config is also empty. I've created the /etc/kderc file as suggested, listing /usr/local/kde as the prefix, and run kbuildsycoca.

Output from the command line on starting kopete is:

Quoted

kopete: [bool KSettings::PageNode::isVisible()] returns false

I've scanned the last few pages of threads on this forum, and couldn't find anything that helped.

Any suggestions?

Heh. I'm doing this because of problems I've been having with 0.74 failing to connect to MSN, so I don't have the option of reverting. Ah well, try another version I guess. Has anyone had any joy at all with recent versions on Mandrake?

Yes, openssl is installed. I've had MSN working fine with 0.7.4 before, but it's now started failing (won't connect, MSN icon just flashes away merrily). I've tried all the obvious possibilities to no avail (deleting contacts, deleting account etc.) so I decided to kill two birds with one stone and get the latest version installed as well.

0.8rc1 seems to be out now, so I'll give that a go...

0.8rc1 compiles and installs flawlessly - but my MSN problem is still there. :( Still can't connect to Yahoo! either.

im not sure how yahoo authenticates but i know msn defainately needs ssl, maybe it cant find your SSL binaries, i'l nick some of gaim's FAQ on this for you:

"/usr/lib/mozilla-1.4 to /etc/ld.so.conf and running ldconfig as root *might* fixinate it."

then redo configure ; make ; make install


(the above fix is for a different distro for a different app, but hey, try it)

The console messages don't seem to suggest that as a problem:

kopete: [void MSNNotifySocket::setStatus(const KopeteOnlineStatus&)] NLN
MNG error 1029: Chunk out of sequence; chunk TERM; subcode 0:0
kdecore (KSocket): ERROR: KExtendedSocket::connectionEvent() called but no data available!

And like I said, MSN worked perfectly well before - I'm just confused that it's given up now without any noticeable changes being made to my setup.

Problem solved - thanks for the help. It was all down to a DNS failure on our intranet. :)

It looks like Kopete's going downhill with this new .8 release...

How did you fix the problem iapetus?

Well, the original problem I fixed by switching to 0.8rc1, which sorted out a couple of compilation problems as well. The second problem I fixed by asking the relevant person to fix our DNS - can't blame kopete for not connecting when msn.messenger.com won't resolve. ;)

Hum ~ It looks like I still have the same problem only with Oscar. It connects and disconnects immediately after.
