Description Oliver Sander 2008-09-29 09:27:29 UTC

Version:           compiled from the sources (using KDE 4.1.1)
Compiler:          g++ (Debian 4.3.1-9) 4.3.1 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

I have a Debian Lenny machine with the KDE4 packages from the kde4.debian.net backports repository.  In order to test the embedded video feature I downloaded
and installed the sources of poppler 0.9.2 and last friday's okular svn.  Okular
starts up and (upon request) brings on the following information:

Qt: 4.4.0
KDE: 4.1.1 (KDE 4.1.1)
Okular: 0.7.80

However, as soon as I try to load any document the program aborts with

ASSERT: "genericServiceTypePtr" in file /tmp/buildd/kde4libs-4.1.1/kdecore/services/kmimetypetrader.cpp, line 107

I am not convinced that this is an okular bug, but I didn't know where else to file it.

Please run:
$ kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental

Comment 2 Oliver Sander 2008-09-29 11:00:56 UTC

Doesn't help :-(

Comment 3 Pino Toscano 2008-09-29 11:14:52 UTC

Of course, you did not setup correctly your local environment.
You miss to set KDEDIRS, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and more.
Please read http://okular.kde.org/download.php and the first link there.
(And in case of more troubles, move the discussion to the ml, it does no more belong to a bug report.)
