Created attachment 340636 [details] full log for command akonadictl start Build akonadi-server-1.9.0 with USE="sqlite -mysql -postgres -test", then try to start it with the command "akonadictl start". The akonadi server then will complain about can not find sqlite3 driver: "QSqlDatabase: QSQLITE3 driver not loaded" (see attachment for full log) and fail to start. The plugin libqsqlite3.so is installed by akonadi-server at /usr/lib/plugins/sqldrivers, but I think Qt4 will search path /usr/lib/qt4/plugins/sqldrivers. So I create a symbol link in /usr/lib/qt4/plugins/sqldrivers which point to /usr/lib/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlite3.so, then akonadi-server can be started as expected.
What USE flags is dev-qt/qtsql built with?
(In reply to comment #1) > What USE flags is dev-qt/qtsql built with? * Found these USE flags for x11-libs/qt-sql-4.8.4: U I - - c++0x : Build Qt using the C++11 standard - - debug : Enable extra debug codepaths, like asserts and extra output. If you want to get meaningful backtraces see http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml + + exceptions : Add support for exceptions - like catching them inside the event loop (recommended by Nokia) - - firebird : Adds support for the Firebird relational database - - freetds : Adds support for the TDS protocol to connect to MSSQL/Sybase databases - - mysql : Adds mySQL Database support - - oci8 : Adds Oracle 8 Database Support - - odbc : Adds ODBC Support (Open DataBase Connectivity) - - pch : Enable precompiled header support for faster compilation at the expense of disk space and memory (>=sys-devel/gcc-3.4 only) - - postgres : Adds support for the postgresql database + + qt3support : Enable the Qt3Support libraries for Qt4 + + sqlite : Adds support for sqlite - embedded sql database
I found the same thing where sqlite3 only existed in lib/plugins: ls -lh /usr/lib/plugins/sqldrivers/ total 68K -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 68K Mar 13 10:36 libqsqlite3.so ls -lh /usr/lib/qt4/plugins/sqldrivers/ total 132K -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 56K Jan 24 20:53 libqsqlite.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 76K Jan 24 20:53 libqsqlmysql.so I worked around it by editing ~/.config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc and changing references of QSQLITE3 to QSQLITE. Akonadi then started up successfully: Here's my akonadiserverrc: [%General] Driver=QSQLITE [QSQLITE] Name=/home/haven/.local/share/akonadi/akonadi.db [Debug] Tracer=null
Related upstream bugreport: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=316002
The offending change was introduced in 1.8.80 (see URL), but d9f68853265[1] (since kdelibs-4.9.5) is supposed to make it work "out of the box". [1]: http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=akonadi.git&a=commitdiff&h=ee3c4bb057da9dc78b7faf92740bd6eba65f8cf7
What is the output of 'kde4-config --path qtplugins'?
The output of 'kde4-config --path qtplugins' is '/home/reiv/.kde4/lib64/kde4/plugins/:/usr/lib64/kde4/plugins/:/usr/lib64/plugins/' And the output of 'qmake -query QT_INSTALL_PLUGINS' is '/usr/lib64/qt4/plugins' PS: reiv is my user name.

Akonadi then started up successfully: Just a comment here - changing QSQLITE3 to QSQLITE makes akonadi use completely different QtSql driver (Qt-builtin one) but here we want to use Akonadi-provided one (which is supposedly patched with some thread-safety stuff). So while it may seem to work as a workaround.. On the other hand, Akonadi-sqlite seems to be in sorry state lately on its own anyway.
Shouldn't we simply apply suggestions from this comment? https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=316002#c3 It says "use -DINSTALL_QSQLITE_IN_QT_PREFIX when building Akonadi."

Thanks, fixed in CVS and git. + 20 Mar 2013; Michael Palimaka <kensington@gentoo.org> + +akonadi-server-1.9.1-r1.ebuild: + Install QSQLITE3 plugin into same directory as other QtSQL plugins, wrt bug + #459876. http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/kde.git;a=commit;h=62afb608a0793ef12f6df94d55d2f47f6af9f73c
