the boolean components are not available in ksimus

I added the boolean package via the settings dialogue and re-started ksimus. The message box showed an "ERROR: Package /usr/lib/ksimus/libksimus-boolean.so: file not found" even though it is clearly installed at that location.

I have exactly the same problem

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I have Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS.

ksimus-boolean worked okay after I recompiled it. KSimus is now a bit old, and a lot has changed since it was written. Please excuse the extra verbosity here. The output may vary, depending on what you have already installed.
