Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.3) Installed from: FreeBSD Ports OS: FreeBSD When trying to use the Print Server/Restart Server function in the KControl Printer dialog for CUPS, an error dialog is displayed: Unable to restart print server. Error message received from manager: Symbol restartServer not found in cupsdconf library. This bug has been long-standing on FreeBSD, probably ever since http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/kdelibs/kdeprint/cups/kmcupsmanager.cpp?rev=281953&r1=276746&r2=281953 , but has only been recently brought to my attention again. The symbol is indeed missing from the library: [lofi@kiste]:0:~/kde-freebsd/area51/x11/kdelibs3/work/kdelibs-3.5.3/kdeprint > nm /usr/local/lib/kde3/cupsdconf.so 00001824 A _DYNAMIC 00001908 A _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ w _Jv_RegisterClasses 000018f8 d __CTOR_END__ 000018f4 d __CTOR_LIST__ 00001900 d __DTOR_END__ 000018fc d __DTOR_LIST__ 00001820 r __EH_FRAME_BEGIN__ 00001820 r __FRAME_END__ 00001904 d __JCR_END__ 00001904 d __JCR_LIST__ 00001938 A __bss_start w __cxa_finalize w __deregister_frame_info 00000740 t __do_global_ctors_aux 00000638 t __do_global_dtors_aux 00001818 d __dso_handle w __register_frame_info 00001938 A _edata 00001954 A _end 00000770 T _fini 000005c4 T _init 00001938 b completed.1 000006b8 t frame_dummy 0000071c T kdeinitmain U kdemain 0000193c b object.2 0000181c d p.0 ... but is present in libkdeinit_cupsdconf.so (and replacing cupsdconf.so with a symlink to that works around the problem).
Michael, is this problem still around? If so, are you able to provide a patch? Cheers, Kurt --------------- (Setting timeout for this bug to Feb 1, 2007)
