Kdemod3: can't run KPDF anymore

After I did the most recent "pacman -Syu", I can't run KPDF anymore (the only PDF reader I know that has continuous page view).

It says "unable to find kpdf part". Also, sometimes (I think when opening kpdf from konqueror), it says libjpeg.so.62 can't be opened.

How can I run kpdf?

If you reinstall libjpeg, can it fix it ? Do you have any other libjpeg problem ?

I think that KDE3(mod) can't be rebuilt on libjpeg7, so they use this

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28427

instead.

Is it possible to have libjpg 7 and 6 at the same time?

EDIT: appearantly doing "ln -s /usr/lib/libjpeg.so /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62" was enough and fixed my problem!

I didn't even need to install anything else, I guess KPDF is comfortable enough with just thinking that it's version 6.

Thanks for the link.

For KPDF it is enough but not so for kdemod3 when background wallpaper disappears.
Then instalation of libjpeg6 is needed.

Did you file a bug report? It would be cleaner and would aslo solve it for everybody if some of the kdemod pacakges would be rebuild against libjpeg-7. (should be kdelibs, kdegraphics)

It's not Arch related, it's kdemod3 related. So you ought to report the bug at the Chakra-Project bug tracker.

Ja, sorry, I meant the kdemod bug tracker of course.
