I wanted to help test the patch provided in bug report 1664.

I am unable to get the tabbar extension to appear in kate. This is

true for systems with or without the 1664 patch. I select the check box in Settings -> Plugins but the bar never appears. When I again

open Settings the check box is unchecked.

Here is what I see in my xsession-errors log:

tdecore (KLibLoader): WARNING: KLibrary: symbol not found tdecore (KLibLoader): WARNING: The library libkatetabbarextensionplugin does not offer an init_libkatetabbarextensionplugin function.

I see similar stderr messages with the Kate File Templates plugin:

tdecore (KLibLoader): WARNING: KLibrary: symbol not found tdecore (KLibLoader): WARNING: The library katefiletemplates does not offer an init_katefiletemplates function.

This is a recent git package set from a day ago.

Would somebody else affirm this behavior?

I have a virtual machine running Trinity. The package set is from July 29. I see the same behavior there in that selecting the plugin check boxes results in the tabbar not appearing and when immediately thereafter opening the Settings dialog the check boxes are cleared. I do not see the stderr messages but I suspect that is because this older package set does not include commit 5354555.

I have a 3.5.13.0 virtual machine. There I am able to enable the tabbar extension. That tells me only that something changed from 3.5.13.0 to pre R14.

The problem appears with or without the tdeaddons patch. I suspect tdelibs, either a corner case I have stumbled across or something in my build script configuration options. The problem occurs with a fresh profile too.
