kde4-kile does not fire-up

[ramebal@…]

Installing kde4-kile worked fine. However, when I start kile by opening the kile icon from macports applications basket, it tries coming up for some time and then vanishes without firing up. I followed procedure described at ​http://www.tosnos.com/?p=28. I tried solution suggested in ticket #36503, but did not help. Is there a solution? Thanks.

In the future, please fill in the Port field and Cc the port maintainer(s).

I don't think it is possible to know the issue without more information. Are there log lines from Kile in the log (System.log in /Utilities/Console), or is there an output when launching the application from the Terminal (/Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/Kile.app/Contents/MacOS/Kile in cas of standard paths) ?

Do other X11 applications work such as xeyes?

Apologies... Following is the output as Kile crashes when I start from the terminal as suggested. Hope this helps... I do not use xeyes but xfig and xmgrace work with no problems

Following the answer to ticket #31958, I launched dbus (had not know that it had to be started manually) and started kile and it is working now! Thanks for the support on this forum.

Ok, good to know that it is now working.

Every KDE software indeed requires dbus to be launched with the command indicated during installation.
