Description Sean Clarke 2004-01-21 02:11:09 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:          Linux

Just installed KDE 3.2 RC1 SuSE RPMs on SuSE 9.0 and Kdevelop fails to start. Here is the error reported:

kdevelop (core): SPLASH: message=Starting core application
kdevelop (core): SPLASH: message=Loading Settings
kdevelop: relocation error: kdevelop: undefined symbol: _ZN11KMdiMainFrm25setStandardMDIMenuEnabledEv

Suspect it is the KDE 3.2 SUSE packages, but thought it best to report it.

please assign as you see fit.

Yes, this is either a packaging bug or a user error... ;) 

If you've installed it without "--force" and with the 3.2 RC1 kdelibs package, report it to SUSE, in this case it's a packaging error.

If you've installed the KDevelop 3.0 RC1 rpm on a system other than KDE-3.2 RC1, this is what will happen, and is a user error as the rpm wasn't built for this.

(The KDevelop 3.0 RC1 source will only compile on kdelibs-3.2 RC1 or KDE-3.0.x/3.1.x) 
Comment 2 Sean Clarke 2004-01-21 10:30:19 UTC
No --force and no seperate KDevelop (source or RPM) weer used.

I downloaded the KDE/SUSE 3.2 RC1 packages from ftp.kde.org and installed them on an otherwise "stock" SUSE 9.0 machine.

What is the best way to highlight it to SuSE?

Thanks for your help Jens.

Yep, I think it is a packaging bug, just updated another SuSE machine, this time SUSE 8.2 (not 9.0) and I get the same error:
kdevelop (core): SPLASH: message=Starting core application
kdevelop (core): SPLASH: message=Loading Settings
kdevelop: relocation error: kdevelop: undefined symbol: _ZN11KMdiMainFrm25setStandardMDIMenuEnabledEv
