three things about kopete in kde4

1. It's best to compile qca2 by getting the tarballs from http://delta.affinix.com/qca. Do not use CMake to compile qca2. It will not install everything correctly. Instead, use the normal "./configure; make; make install" route.
2. You have to install the openssl plugin for qca2 in addition to the base library in order for Jabber SSL connections to work correctly. the openssl plugin can be found towards the bottom of the qca page at http://delta.affinix.com/qca. Jabber SSL connections will not work if you don't do this.
3. If you're having issues with Kopete not being able to find plugins, then you need to remove the following two files and then logout and log back in to KDE. The two files are:

  • /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER/ksycoca4stamp
  • /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER/ksycoca4

It may also be possible to run "kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental" from the command line and then restart Kopete to make it work. The above method seems to be the one that works for everybody though.

The FAQ on kopete.kde.org will be updated tomorrow with this same information. That is all.
