Hey

I'm trying to learn plasma, and I went through the tutorial here


The plasmoid compiled without errors and shows up in my "Add Widgets..." list, but when I try to run it, it comes up saying "the object could not be created."

If I run it in plasmoidviewer, it gives me

This object could not be created for the following reason:
The applet 'plasma_applet_tutorial1' could not be loaded

and in the term window...
Plasma::Applet::loadApplet: Couldn't load applet " "plasma_applet_tutorial1" "! reason given: "The shared library was not found."


My guess is that I put the .so file in the wrong directory (/usr/lib/kde4/lib/) or maybe the .desktop file in the wrong directory (/usr/lib/kde4/share/kde4/services/)

are these correct?

I'm stumped, and stuck and the documentation still seems pretty sketchy. Any help?

Ah, answered my own question. The .so file goes in /usr/lib/kde4/lib/kde4 (on my kubuntu anyway)

cheers
