I've spend some time investigating this issue and I have some additional details to add.
The problem seems to be not with "knetworkconf" gui code (C++ code) but with perl code of backend. When I run .../backends/network-conf script I see following errors -- Can't locate /general.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at ../backends_back/network-conf line 52. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ../backends_back/network-conf line 58. -- But there should be no errors when running this script. When I checked all perl scripts I found following -- $SCRIPTSDIR = ""; if ($SCRIPTSDIR =~ /[EMAIL PROTECTED]@]/) ... -- When I manually edited all perl scripts and specified value of this variable directly in each script: -- $SCRIPTSDIR = "/usr/share/kde4/apps/knetworkconf/backends"; -- (I did this on openSuse so path can be different on Ubuntu) I was able to run this script without errors and knetworkconf started to work. So the problem is that the value of scriptsdir variable was not defined in backends scripts. As far as I can see from http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdeadmin/knetworkconf/backends/ the same variable is defined in system-tools-backends.pc and probably pkg-config (http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/wiki/FrontPage) should be used during compilation to set values of this variable in all scripts (perl sources have $SCRIPTSDIR = "@scriptsdir@"; definition of this variable and probably the value should be set during compilation). I am not familiar with CMake and I am not sure how exactly knetworkconf should be compiled to set the values of $SCRIPTSDIR variable during compilation. But I hope that this additional information will help to resolve this issue.
