Anyway I believe that the package for jaunty on its PPA was built with Kde 4.2, and I’m not sure if it would work on Kubuntu jaunty with with Kde 4.3

TCLAP 1.1.0 Bug

TCLAP library version 1.1.0 contains a small bug:
Including tclap/CmdLine.h more then once (in different files) causes linking errors.

Linking problem is caused by these functions:

  • TCLAP::OptionalUnlabeledTracker::check
  • TCLAP::MultiSwitchArg::shortID
  • TCLAP::MultiSwitchArg::longID

Declaring these 3 functions as “inline” fixes this bug.

I reported this bug to the author and he answered that this problem has been fixed in CVS and will be
part of the next release.

I released a package for Ubuntu Jaunty containing this fix, you can download it from my PPA
