coverup Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 Someone on this forum suggested kshowmail for email previewing. I intalled a beta rpm from MDK 8.2 powerpack CDs, but for some reason, it does not poll my POP3 account. I also tried to compile the source for KDE2.2.2, does not work either (I had some developer packages missing, installed them, but not sure whether I used a correct version...). I am certain, this is not a problem on the mailserver. I compiled kshowmail from the source on another box for KDE1.1, it works perfectly with my POP3 account... Ok then, I downloaded another KDE2.2 rpm from sourceforge, tried to install it, but ran into a dependency problem: the RPM is packaged for SUSE and requires libpng.so.2; MDK 8.2 uses libpng.so.3. Did anybody have similar experience? Where can I find *working* kshowmail rpm? MDK offers libpng.so.2 to club members only, I can't get it from them (Hello there in Mandrake, I bought for my Powerpack less than a year ago, BTW...)

coverup Posted May 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 Forgot to mention, I need an rpm for MDK8.2 (KDE2.2.2)... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germ Posted May 26, 2003 Report Share Posted May 26, 2003 You can grab the KDE 2 version here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kshowmail/ /germ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coverup Posted May 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2003 I did... As I wrote in the first post, kshowmail-2.0-0.i386.rpm from sourceforge seems to be packaged for SuSe and doesn't install on my MDK8.2 system because rpm cannot find libpng.so.2. libpng.so.2 for MDK8.2 is available to club members only. I got sources from sourceforge as well, compiled them and still have the same problem, kshowmail cannot login to the server... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germ Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 This is for 8.1, but should work for 8.2 It provides libpng.so.2 http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/mandrake/upd....2mdk.i586.html I used kshowmail in Mandrake 8.2 with no problems. Also, the kshowmail I pointed you to is v2.2.3, which is the version I used in MDK 8.2, not v2.0 http://unc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/...il-2.2.3.tar.gz If you can't or don't want to compile, the rpm on your 8.2 CD should work fine after you install libpng2.

coverup Posted May 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 Thanks, I got and installed libpng.so.2, but that was only success... I've tried kshowmail-2.2.3 beta rpm from the CD again. It showed clock and was trying hard to login to the server, but that was it until I killed it. Also, I have compiled kshowmail-2.2.3.tar.gz from the source again. Still nothing, except for the popup message "Cannot login to <server name>".I ran it from the terminal, this line might help to shed the light: KShowMailApp::slotUIDLsResult: KIO::error Also, while running ./configure, I got this warning autoconf 2.50 is currently not supported at admin/conf.change.pl line 94, <> line 793.
