I have been fighting with this ever since visibility support was enabled in 
KDE.  The libksirtet code doesn't seem to have been properly designed to 
export the classes that need exporting, so the symbols in question aren't 
found when kfouleggs and ksirtet tries to link them in.  So this must be why 
you're seeing this, since gcc 4 supports visibility.

I gave up after my third commit to "fix" the problem.  I suspect you could 
truly fix it by simply KDE_EXPORT'ing every single class in libksirtet (which 
I tried to do by changing the CXXFLAGS to have -fvisibility=default in the 
Makefile.am's there if visibility support was detected).  But, I'm too worn 
out for the effort involved.
