Collette To: will@FreeBSD.org Cc: ports@FreeBSD.org Well, it seemed that I got me a bad copy of kdelibs. That, or somebody up there just likes me all of the sudden. I did a pkg_delete on just the kdelibs and pulled down a fresh copy from ftp.kde.org. Upon recompiling, all my DCOP problems completely vanished! This may have had something to do with the order of when kdelib was compiled, since it was now the last in line. I personally dismiss this theory, as it seems not a lot of other folks had this problem. With that in mind, the only thing really left that could be at fault is the tar file itself. I didn't keep track of which mirror I pulled the possibly bad tar from unfortunately. After reading some of the other problems folks are having with the KDE 2.2 installation this goes to strengthen the notion that some of the mirrors may have mucked up copies. After 2 days of fighting KDE 2.2 I have to say that it really was all worth it. Even without the object tweaks that are being discussed, things still feel a good bit snappier here. The various graphical effects that have been added look pretty sweet, and lots of cool configuration ability that wasn't in 2.1. Will, once again you put out a nearly flawless port of KDE. No small accomplishment considering the size and scope of KDE these days. Thank you for helping to make FreeBSD a great desktop platform!
