[Mlterm-dev-en] scim dlopen problem

[wagner f. <Fre...@lo...>]

hello, I currently have a bug in mlterm with combining characters and I
wanted to debug it myself.

I am on debian unstable with scim version 1.4.2-1

so I downloaded mlterm 2.9.2, and started a=20

./configure --enable-debug --enable-fribidi --enable-scim

followed by make

it complained about the following problem :


im_scim_1.2.cpp: In function `int im_scim_initialize(char *)':
im_scim_1.2.cpp:536: no matching function for call to
`scim::ConfigModule::create_config (const char[5])'
/usr/include/scim-1.0/scim_config_module.h:117: candidates are: class
scim::ConfigPointer scim::ConfigModule::create_config() const

but this was quickly fixed by removing the "scim" string in
im_scim_1.2.cc

make again, and everything finished compiling.

the only problem is that mlterm fails loading the scim module

when launching ./xwindow/mlterm I got a=20

*** ERROR HAPPEND ***  scim: Could not load.

strace confirmed me that the right library=20
/usr/local/lib/mlterm/libim-scim.so was being loaded

so I added in the file  kiklib/src/kik_dlfcn_dl.c
a small error message after the dlopen :

   if( ( ret =3D dlopen( path , RTLD_LAZY)))
    {
        return  (kik_dl_handle_t)ret ;
    }
    else {
        fprintf(stderr, "error: %s\n", dlerror());
    }

when running the programm I have :

error: /usr/local/lib/mlterm/libim-scim.so: undefined symbol:
_._Q24scim11Transaction
*** ERROR HAPPEND ***  scim: Could not load.

at this point this is becoming a bit too tough for me.

has anyone ever experienced something like that ? any idea what could go
wrong here ?

i've tried different versions of gcc (2.95 and 4.0) but it has been the
same problem on each case.

also, the binary debian package is achieving to load scim so why not if
I compile it myself from source ?

thanks for the help
