(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           knode
Version:           0.6.1 (using KDE 2.2.2 )
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          GCC 3.0.2
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

Hi!

Since I changed to KDE 2.2.2 I cannot use Knode anymore eventhough Knode itself did not change from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2.

When I try to start it from the konsole window the only output I get is:

knode: KNApplication::newInstance()
knode: KNArticleWidget::showBlankPage()

By changing the symlink /opt/kde to the old installation I can correctly start the old version.

There were no compilation errors ldd does not report anything about missing libs or other problems.

Thanks for your help

Regards

Philipp

Version:           KDE 2.2.2 
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.0.2
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Thread model: posix

When starting up KNode in KDE 2.2.2 (Qt 2.3.2) it hangs when setting up the SMTP/NNTP threads. It's the following lines in knnetaccess.cpp that do not seem to work:

74: if (pthread_create(&nntpThread ....
and
78: if (pthread_create(&smtpThread ....

When I comment out those two blocks the KNode window shows up but as there are no threads no articles won't be loaded etc.

When I was using KDE 2.2.1 with Qt 2.3.0 compiled with gcc 2.95.3 it worked. 
KDE 2.2.1 with Qt 2.3.2 compiled with gcc 3.0.2 does not work.

Is this a (further) gcc bug? Or something with Qt?

Thanks for your help.

Yes gcc 3.x shouldn't be used to compile KDE2+KNode 0.6
