problem with kde games, possibly related to libdbus-1.so.2

My knowledge in linux is very weak. I hope you will help me solve my problem.

After installing some stuff, I noticed my kdegames don't work anymore. When I try to start any, no window appears.

When I try to start it from terminal, I get:

bash-3.1$ cd /opt/kde/bin
bash-3.1$ ./kasteroids
./kasteroids: error while loading shared libraries: libdbus-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

How to solve this, and what's wrong?

Thank you.

Re: problem with kde games, possibly related to libdbus-1.so.2

Hmm, is your system fully updated?
Please check that before trying something other...

I had this error some time ago, but it could not be reproduced... I solved it by simply recompiling my kdebase and kdelibs packages...

Please check if KDE can start the Media Notifier Daemon:

Kcontrol --> KDE Components --> Services --> There you'll find it...

When you get an error from kded while trying to start it, you may have the same problem that i had...

A quick and very dirty way to solve this, is to do the following:

cd /usr/lib
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3.YOURVERSION libdbus-1.so.2

want a modular and tweaked KDE for arch? try kdemod

yes, i ensured that, it didn't solve the prolem

Please check if KDE can start the Media Notifier Daemon:

it started without any errors

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3.YOURVERSION libdbus-1.so.2

creating this link solved it - the games work fine now

it there's a better and not very difficult (for my limited knowledge) way to fix it, please tell me.

thank you very much, funkyou!

Re: problem with kde games, possibly related to libdbus-1.so.2

what version of the 'kdegames' package do you have installed?  I just installed it today and it works fine with libdbus-1.so.3

$ pacman -Q kdegames
kdegames 3.5.6-1
