[SOLVED] Kile doesn't find okularpart library for embedded PDF viewer

Hi,

on my fresh KDE install (4.14.30) with Kile (2.1.3) I wanted to set the ViewPDF-Function (Settings -> Configure Kile -> Tools -> Build) to "Embedded Viewer". When I'm trying to use it the error log reports "[ViewPDF] Could not find the okularpart library". Okular is installed in version 16.12.3 an there's an okularpart.so in /usr/lib/qt/plugins/. I tried to fool around with the settings in the dialogue but apart from crashing Kile when putting in the absolute path I achieved nothing.

Default values in the dialogue for the selection "Embedded Viewer" are:

General
Library: okularpart
Library class: Okular::Part
Options: <empty>

Advanced
Type: Run Embedded in Kile
Class: View
Source extention & Target extension: pdf
Target file & Relative dir: <empty>
State: Viewer

What should I do to get this working?

Regards,

thurse

Open a bug report on the Arch bugtracker and ask for an okularpart4 package to be made and added as a dependency. Okular is available in a version linked against qt5 but kile still uses qt4 and can therefore not make use of the qt5 okularpart.

Okey, it turns out that there is no real need for getting this fixed because kile with qt5 support (contrary to my understanding) is still under developement and will be released eventually.

Thanks for the help!
