Description Jason Zwolak 2001-08-28 18:04:27 UTC

User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.19-7.0.8 i686)

Description of problem:
When I compile kde programs they find the kde libraries in /usr/lib. 
However, some of those libraries are symbolic links to
/usr/lib/kde1-compat/lib.  The ones that are links do not work unless
/usr/lib/kde1-compat/ is in the library path.  So why even make symbolic
links?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.	Make a simple program like:
		int main() {
			return 1;
		}
2.	compile it with the command: gcc simple.c -lkimgio

Actual Results:  You will get an error that kimgio is not found by ldd

Expected Results:  The program should give errors saying that certain
methods, objects, etc that kimgio requires are not found.  In other words,
it should find kimgio and try to link to it.  The linking will cause some
symbols to be unresolved.

Additional info:

Kdevelope has a tutorial (KDE application tutorial) that does not work
because of this problem.

You should add -L/usr/lib/kde1-compat/lib, it should work.
Alle kde1-compats libs are in /usr/lib/kde1-compat/lib
