Hi!

Some minutes ago I have run "svn up" in trunk/kdesupport and "cmakekde". This ended with "Strigi needs a thread safe version of libxml2". What can I do?

Best regards,
Oliver.

This is a known bug in the Kubuntu packages. Please install the version of libXML available from this PPA ( https://edge.launchpad.net/~jr/+archive/ppa )

i have this same problem. i tried installing the listed PPAs but same problem crops up after doing a cmakekde. Here's what did with the result

drexler@ubuntu:/home/kde-devel/kde/src/trunk/kdesupport$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jr/ppa
[sudo] password for drexler:

....


After this i proceed to switch to the dev account and do cmakekde there. Am i doing anything wrong? Corrections welcomed. A KDE dev newbie here.

After you have installed the corrected libxml packages from that PPA you should be able to build as normal.

thanks..got it to work. Just had to use KPackage to update the system itself.
