Hi Mashrab,

hmm... could be difficult to tell, but it might be possible that the 
wrong libraries get loaded? This particularly could apply if you have 
both, a stable version installed AS WELL AS KOffice head - in two 
different locations(!) If you want to run the KOffice head version 
you MUST make sure that this library gets loaded - otherwise the 
libraries of the already installed version gets used and that one of 
course does NOT include your debugging code...

A little crash course in library loading:
do a `cat /etc/ld.so.conf`
All the paths given there are searched for libraries if they are 
required. The list of paths is searched from top to bottom, the first 
library with the correct name gets loaded. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is used 
BEFORE any entry in /etc/ld.so.conf, this is useful because it lets 
you use different library paths without having to 
edit /etc/ld.so.conf each time.
And by the way: IF you edit /etc/ld.so.conf one day, just make sure 
you call "ldconfig" so the /etc/ld.so.cache gets updated, this is 
what is used for lookup actually. Calling "ldconfig" is also 
important if you install new libraries manually.

Hope this helps a bit,
Raphael
