Trouble with kde apps
Hi everybody,
It's been some time now that KDE applications are running very slow on my
kfreebsd machine. They usually take forever to start and then when certain
actions take place (that probably need to open libraries) they freeze
temporarily. ktrace report tons of lines like this:
...
14635 kaddressbook NAMI "/lib/libaudio.la"
14635 kaddressbook RET open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
14635 kaddressbook CALL open(0x81a1270,0,0)
14635 kaddressbook NAMI "/usr/lib/libaudio.la"
14635 kaddressbook RET open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
14635 kaddressbook CALL open(0x81a1270,0,0)
14635 kaddressbook NAMI "/lib/i486-kfreebsd-gnu/libaudio.la"
14635 kaddressbook RET open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
14635 kaddressbook CALL open(0x81a14b0,0,0)
14635 kaddressbook NAMI "/usr/lib/i486-kfreebsd-gnu/libaudio.la"
14635 kaddressbook RET open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
14635 kaddressbook CALL open(0x81a14b0,0,0)
14635 kaddressbook NAMI "/usr/X11R6/lib/libaudio.la"
14635 kaddressbook RET open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
14635 kaddressbook CALL open(0x81a1340,0,0)
14635 kaddressbook NAMI "libaudio.la"
14635 kaddressbook RET open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
14635 kaddressbook CALL open(0x81a1350,0,0)
14635 kaddressbook NAMI "/lib/libaudio"
...
(you'll notice the lack of the .so extension on the last line)
It isn't just libaudio but all the libraries that the application depends on
that don't have dev packages installed. The libraries are repeatedly tried
and I get thousands of lines like above. The only libraries that properly get
loaded are the ones that I have dev packages installed for (and therefore the
libtool files that are searched for above exist). Does anyone have an idea
why these kde apps behave this way?
