From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0) Description of problem: After upgrading the system from Red Hat 7.3, I can't configure MIDI devices in KDE. Starting kcontrol and clicking on the sound -> MIDI tab, the program gives libkcm_midi.la not found This file is not present on the system. Other icons in kcontrol work properly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-3.1-12 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start kcontrol 2. click on Sound -> MIDI setup tab Actual Results: kcontrol asks for libkcm_midi.la Expected Results: kcontrol lets you configure MIDI devices Additional info: "Help -> About kcontrol" gives version kde 3.1-10 RedHat . Shouldn't it be 3.1-12?
libkcm_midi.la is obsolete and not needed in kde 3.1.x, which is included in RHL9. This problem only appears (in your case) if you don't restart your new KDE after upgrade process. restarting KDE or machine will fix this problem
