Kopete can't connect to MSN account, complains about symbol not found

[luisromangz]

Binary package hint: kopete

Kopete tries to connect to a WLM account and fails, and the program exits. It writes the following in the console:

kopete: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/kde4/kopete_wlm.so: undefined symbol: _ZN3MSN28NotificationServerConnection15setFriendlyNameESsb

In the KDE Bug Tracking system (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=179999) it has been said to be a packaging issue that must be resolved downstream, and that it's related to libmsn.

Should be fixed with the latest updates.

Still happens with today's (3/5/2008) update to kopete-4:4.2.1-ubuntu1, in Kubuntu Jaunty.

[luisromangz (luisromangz)]

Still happens with kopete 4.2.2-0ubuntu1 and libmsn0.1 4.0~beta4-0ubuntu.

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

No, this has long been fixed. It is possible that you have an older version of a self-compiled libmsn hanging around, which I would recommend uninstalling.

[luisromangz (luisromangz)]

Yeah, you are right, it was my fault this time, I'm so sorry about wasting your time, Jonathan.

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Don't worry. I'm glad I was able to help you resolve your issue in the end. :)
