[Kde-pim] kdepim unbuildable with kdesrc-build

[Sandro Knauß]

Hey,


too bad - that is for sure not the expirience we want to have. But can you 
give us some more informations. You said, that you have "an older version 
installed"
- is that another version built by kdesrc-build?
- do you have a version installed by your distribution?
- what environment variables you have touched?

Regards,

sandro
