arts is broken when KDE upgraded to 3.5.3 in Slackware-10.2
 

Hello, has anyone attempted to upgrade to the KDE in Slack-current while using Slack-10.2? None of the apps that depend on arts appear to be working (noatun, kaboodle, etc.).

I upgraded the following packages from Slackware-current to get KDE-3.5.3 up and running:

kde/*
x/*
l/glibc
l/libpng
d/gcc
d/gcc++
a/acl

When I try and run something like noatun, it complains about undefindness in a library that should have been installed with kdemultimedia. If I try and compile kdemultimedia manually, I get make errors relating to arts.

This is no big loss since I don't use it anyways, but I would like to know why this is happening since I recommend (with ample warnings) a KDE upgrade in a bluetooth guide that I wrote. It would be nice to be able to explain to my readers (all two of them ;) ) how to fix it.

Thanks for your time!

Did you upgraded l/arts also ? (sorry, you didn't mentioned it in the list)
Do you see some unresolved dependencies by running ?

i'm using KDE 3.5.3 from current and it's fine with me

try looking at the current changelog, as it has updated a lot of libraries there

thanks that's what I needed. I upgraded the following libraries and it works now. (I thought arts was part of kdemultimedia, guess I was wrong)

a/aaa_elflibs
l/arts
l/audiofile
l/libao
l/libmad
l/libogg
l/libvorbis

thanks for the help!
