[SOLVED] Phonon and libkhtml

Hello,

Due to delay in hardware repair, I did not update my Arch box since early september.
Now I have the machine back and updated my installation.

All seems well, except for one problem that I don't understand:
Since the updates were installed, I get the following error message from various KDE applications:

symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkhtml.so.5: undefined symbol: _ZN6Phonon19AbstractMediaStream8needDataEx

The message is thrown by Konqueror, but also by many other applications at startup (most important: Kile, which I really need for work).
Except for Konqueror this leads to non-starting applications.

I have installed the phonon-gstreamer backend as well as the phonon-mplayer-git backend. I also tried installing the phonon-vlc backend.
Can somebody point me to the reason of the error?

Re: [SOLVED] Phonon and libkhtml

Google results show that kind of problem is related to incompatible versions of kdelibs and phonon. Are you sure your update was successful? Maybe phonon got stuck in an old version for some reason. Could you check with pacman -Q | grep -i phonon?

Thanks for the answer, help is very appreciated.
Didn't notice any errors during the update process.
Here's the installed versions:

pacman -Q | grep -i phonon
phonon 1:4.5.1-1
phonon-gstreamer 4.5.1-1
phonon-mplayer-git 20111025-1

Also kdelibs:

pacman -Q | grep -i kdelibs
kdelibs 4.7.2-2

Re: [SOLVED] Phonon and libkhtml

Could you check if /usr/lib/libkhtml.so.5 is linking to /usr/lib/libkhtml.so.5.7.0? I have kdelibs from testing, but the .so version must be the same.

Could you check if /usr/lib/libkhtml.so.5 is linking to /usr/lib/libkhtml.so.5.7.0? I have kdelibs from testing, but the .so version must be the same.

Indeed:

ls -l libkhtml*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      13 Oct  9 20:03 libkhtml.so -> libkhtml.so.5
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      17 Oct  9 20:03 libkhtml.so.5 -> libkhtml.so.5.7.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7886264 Oct  9 20:03 libkhtml.so.5.7.0

Re: [SOLVED] Phonon and libkhtml

Update again, you need kdelibs 4.7.2-4 which is built with phonon 4.5.1

Re: [SOLVED] Phonon and libkhtml

Okay, updating to kdelibs 4.7.2-4 did it.
Thank you everyone!
