knewsticker does not seem to be compiled even though I've got kde 3.1.1 When trying to look at it in KDE Control module it says that libkcm_newsticker.la is missing.
the right file name should be /usr/kde/3.1/lib/kde3/kcm_knewsticker.la, it should not look for libkcm_newsticker.la, try emerging again kdenetwork, and look if in you ~/.kde/applnk/Settings/Personalization/ the file kcmnewsticker.desktop is present, this could be an old file causing problem, you have to remove it (or maybe libkcmnewsticker.desktop)
What is the status of this?
I've tried recompiling kdenetwork-3.1.1 and it says it was successful, but the problem persists. in my~/.kde directory (which is a link to ~/.kde3.1) there are Autostart socket-Martha tmp-Martha share socket-Martha.crystal.com tmp-Martha.crystal.com (computer's name is Martha, domain is crystal.com) There is no applnk directory there. But there is one in ~/.kde/share The ~/.kde/share/applnk/Settings/Personalization is empty. I'm not sure what else to tell you. I'm stuck.
is /usr/kde/3.1/lib/kde3/kcm_knewsticker.la present?
/usr/kde/3.1/lib/kde3/kcm_knewsticker.la is present.
is this still a problem in newer kde versions?
