kmail crashes
 
Hello. I'm running Alien Bob's kde 4.7 packages, which have turned out to be pretty sweet:cool:

The only downside is that kmail crashes on start up-just can't get it to run. Terminal output is below. Has anyone else had this problem?


Code:
~$ kmail
kmail2(27426)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig:

Affects me too
 
From what I've seen, my terminal output is pretty much identical. Hopefully someone here will have an answer.

Kmail works fine for me under 4.7. Have you installed all the dependencies? It looks like attica_kde.so is missing, so you could use slackpkg to search which package attica is in and make sure you have it installed.

... and have you removed all the deprecated packages too? Like the old "kdebase-runtime" package which no longer exists in KDE 4.7.0 - and it contains a copy of this library.

See my README for KDE 4.7.0 where I also list all the removepkg commands you need (and which I forgot to include initially):
Code:
  # removepkg polkit-kde-1
  # removepkg kdebase-runtime
  # removepkg kdebase-workspace
  # removepkg kdebindings
  # removepkg kdeedu
  # removepkg konq-plugins

I missed removepkg konq-plugins. This didn't solve it though. I was thinking about running current anyway, so I did a clean install of 13.37 and upgraded to current, then installed kde 4.7. It's working well now-kmail is fine. Not a very scientific way of solving it but hey ho. :)
