Ah, that's koffice-1.1.1 *for kde3*? That's the info I missed when I first read
your answer.

I think this is the problem.
Please go to kdelibs/kio/tests, and type
make ktradertest
./ktradertest KOfficePart KParts/ReadOnlyPart "[X-KDE-NativeMimeType] == 'application/x-kpresenter'"
and send me the output.

But I think I see the problem.... if you have both versions of koffice
on the _same_ version of KDE, then koffice is confused as to which
components it should open.... and it picks up the wrong one, and
it crashes.

We don't really have a concept of "installation prefix" into which to look.
It's more like "a list of prefixes known to KDE, altogether".
So having two koffice versions among that, leads to problems, and I'm not
sure how to change that.
Hmm, simply having a version number flag in the .desktop file would allow
to pick up the right component, though. Well, at least its .desktop file.
The problem is to pick the right library from there - and again we hit the
"all prefixes are mixed" problem. We'd need version numbers on
modules too, which we didn't do up to now.
Similarly: if you had two versions of Konqueror, or any other executable,
in your PATH, only one would be accessible. They don't have version numbers
in their name - the same happens with modules. This explains the decision
of not putting version numbers in loadable modules.

It's --enable-debug (without the =yes). Seems you got no debug symbols
because of that.
