Interesting. So this is a missing symbol from messagecore in kmailprivate, 
when building kmail (which does not directly link against messagecore).

All direct dependencies are listed with absolute paths, so there is basically 
nothing that can go wrong there, but for indirect dependencies we end up with 
whatever the linker is finding itself. And it seems like it searches the 
install location first here. That would explain the problem you are seeing.

This also explains why this problem apparently became more frequent recently, 
as Laurent and I have cleaned up the public link interfaces considerably in 
kdepim (cutting down unused dependency graph edges for KMail from ~2200 to 
~900 so far, with positive impact on startup), and I have done quite some BIC 
changes.

Does the linker evaluate R[UN]PATH? If so, I see why this would happen after 
the first install, as make install rewrites that to the install location, 
doesn't it?

regards,
Volker
