Description of problem: You version of kdelibs makes impossible using the environment VARIABLE "KDEDIRS" which is strong required when developing KDE software using KParts. This happens 'cause your library ALWAYS first looks into the builtin kdedir eg. /usr/lib/kde4 for the part. So it is mostly impossible having prior versions installed and developing this software further. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.1.0-5 from testing How reproducible: take kdelibs from testing updates, checkout a developing project like kdesvn kde4-port branch, compile and install it, then try load another build of the part reached via KDEDIRS=<path-to-lib>:/usr environment. Actual results: It always takes libs from /usr/lib/kde4 or /usr/lib64/kde4 first. Expected results: It should first look into pathes set with KDEDIRS then into standard path. Additional info: I fixed it building kdelibs package myself and NOT applying the patch "kdelibs-4.0.99-kstandarddirs.patch" (Patch 18 in spec file). So this patch should reviewed or removed, it seems useless. Removing the capability using KDEDIRS isn't a good idea for developers.
There's good reason for the patch, but it's certainly a bug if it interferes with proper use of KDEDIRS.
There are even several good reasons for the patch, look at the package changelog for the Bugzilla IDs of kstandarddirs-related issues (which aren't showing up with the upstream default directory settings by mere luck) which it fixes. I'll be fixing the patch ASAP, but just dropping it is not an option. Also note that our 4.0.x packages behaved exactly the same way, this is not a new issue with 4.1.
I used kdelibs4 from updates-testing and it has problem. I develop for KOffice/Krita using FC8 and when I installed KOffice 2.0 (in preffix ~/kde/inst ), i had big mess with KOffice 1 and KOffice 2 mixed up. I install in that prefix, because I develop KOffice, it is in alpha state, so there is no reason to install it somewhere like /usr So for now I'm forced to use self-compiled packages.
Should be fixed in 4.1.0-8 which I just committed to devel/rawhide. Builds coming soon.
Try kdelibs-4.1.0-9.fc9: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=60797 (apidocs still building, the rest is built already).
With packages from updates-testing-newkey it works perfect so you may close it, Tnx!
