Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.1) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages Note: this is a forward of the following Debian bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=237990 Here's the original text: when I try to access http://www.müller.de or similar idn-aware domains, an malformed url error is raised. I can confirm this on my system: I can't access unicode domains like müller.de from the minicli, nor konqueror itself, I get an error saying "malformed url: http://". Maybe something is wrong in the KURL parsing, I'm not sure. From the 3.2 changelog, it seems that 3.2 was supposed to have working IDN support. So I was inclined to think that something must have gone wrong in Debian packaging, but there doesn't seem to be any configure.in.in code about this, and I can't figure what would have gone wrong otherwise. Can anyone shed some light on this please ? thanks domi
Please see bug #78885 You need libidn so that IDN works Have a nice day!

By the way: why is this libidn dlopen'd, and not detected at compile ( i.e. configure ) time ? Cause this really is a very annoying thing to do wrt. for us packagers, and it would be *much* easier if you could just link to it at compile time. Anyone care to explain ? thanks domi
it's changed for 3.3
K, great, thx domi
