Version:           2.1-SVN (using KDE 4.5.85) 
OS:                Linux

When building k3b from latest git (2.0.80), the configure script reports that:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------                               
-- The following dependencies were found.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------                                      
    <others>                                                                                         
   * Mad mp3 - Needed for the mp3 audio decoder plugin.                                                                                                                                  
   * Lame mp3 encoder - Needed for the lame mpf encoder encoder plugin.
    <others>
----------

However upon compiling/installing then launching k3b, it reports in startup warning that:

MP3 Audio Decoder plugin not found.
K3b could not load or find the MP3 decoder plugin. <blah..>

Even when I manually cd to build/plugins/encoder, then make && make install it fails to add the required functionality. 

I truly do have libmad (& every other dep) installed, equery reports:
 
* Searching for libmad ...
[IP-] [  ] media-libs/libmad-0.15.1b-r7


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Git fetch/pull or Git clone latest tree
2. build with default cmake options
3. note libmad is indeed detected by configure
4. launch k3b & be greeted with lacking functionality message.


Expected Results:  
Included libmad/mp3 encoder support.

Hi, thanks for the report. Please check if the path K3b is installed to is present in KDEDIRS environment variable.
Comment 2 Clint 2010-12-30 11:35:26 UTC
Hi and thanks,

Oddly enough for some reason my environment is lacking KDEDIRS?

$ echo $KDEDIRS returns nothing.

$ env | grep -i kde    

KDE_MULTIHEAD=false
GTK2_RC_FILES=/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:/home/clint/.gtkrc-2.0::/home/clint/.kde4/share/config/gtkrc-2.0
GTK_RC_FILES=/etc/gtk/gtkrc:/home/clint/.gtkrc::/home/clint/.kde4/share/config/gtkrc
KDE_FULL_SESSION=true
KDE_SESSION_UID=1000
KDE_SESSION_VERSION=4
QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/home/clint/.kde4/lib64/kde4/plugins/:/usr/lib64/kde4/plugins/

Any ideas why this might be and do you recommend I export it myself to bashrc? It should be set to /usr correct?
Comment 3 Clint 2010-12-30 16:52:14 UTC
Update, i've exported both KDEDIR & KDEDIRS (to be safe) as the correct /usr path, run # env-update, git pulled/fetched, make clean & built/installed a fresh copy of k3b. Problem still occurs. Still unsure whether these environment settings are missing on my install or not meant to be needed?

$ kde4-config --prefix
/usr

# set | grep -i kdedir
KDEDIR=/usr
KDEDIRS=/usr

Perhaps informative, when running k3b through the terminal I get:
"k3b(14122)/kdecore (trader) KServiceTypeTrader::defaultOffers: KServiceTypeTrader: serviceType  "K3b/Plugin"  not found"
