Description Iuri Fiedoruk 2008-08-15 17:08:02 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.0)
Installed from:    MS Windows
OS:                MS Windows

Opening bug as requested with info discussed in <kde-windows@kde.org> list.

I'm having a problem with kopete. When I try to register an Jabber or MSN account, it shows a message box with an error when loading jabber/msn plugin.
Other protocols like yahoo or ICQ work just fine.
kopete_jabber.dll and kopete_msn.dll are present in the \lib\kde4 directory.

'Dependency Walker' detected missing KOPETE_MSN_SHARED.DLL that is present in /bin.
Placing it in /lib/kde4 made it work partially, I can configure the account, but it gave me an error when connecting.
Seems like kopete have a problem of paths missing.(?)

assign to the windows group.

I've verified, this is still a bug in 4.1.1
Comment 3 Anish Bhatt 2008-10-02 22:49:19 UTC 
qca.dll did not fix jabber problems for me.

I installed KDE 4.1.2 and I do have the same error when connecting. 
Error message says: "operation not supported".

Same with 4.1.3
Comment 7 Christian Ehrlicher 2009-02-04 18:32:44 UTC 
jabber and msn works fine for me in 4.2.0 and svnHead
Comment 8 Andrius 2009-02-04 19:03:29 UTC 
I believe this problem is only happening in msvc binaries, not in MinGW binaries.
Comment 9 David 2009-02-04 19:14:12 UTC 
Yes, it does work now.
Comment 10 Andrius 2009-02-04 20:02:28 UTC 
Peter, Christian, are you using mingw binaries? It's not working here, it seems msvc binaries can't load the dlls properly
Comment 11 Christian Ehrlicher 2009-02-04 20:09:25 UTC 
I'm using self compiled msvc debug libs and also tested msvc release libs from the installer...
Comment 12 Andrius 2009-02-04 21:55:53 UTC 
It seems my old katerc file was the reason for the problem (at least in msn), did not test jabber
Comment 13 João Vitor P. Moraes 2009-02-04 23:22:37 UTC 
It worked after complete uninstall and reinstall.
