Upgraded to KDE 3.3.0 and now rdesktop (krdc) does not work for rdp connections. It allows me to enter in an address (rdp to a windows terminal server), and set screen dimensions, but then states:

Could not start rdesktop; make sure rdesktop is properly installed.

It does seem to work just fine for VNC connections. I've tried this on two different machines running Archlinux. Worked before upgrade, failed after upgrade.
This task depends upon

I can confirm this... I got the same error... and then discovered rdesktop is in fact not installed... I did a pacman -S rdesktop and it installed version 1.3.1-2. Then I tried again and got this error:

The version of rdesktop you are using (1.3.1) is too old:
rdesktop 1.3.2 or greater is required. A working patch for rdesktop 1.3.1 can be found in KDE CVS.

looks like we either apply the patch or wait for upstream to fix this.

Hi, I have this problem in my slackware-current.

rdesktop.sourceforge not have new version 1.3.1.. :( you need download CVS into KDE or CVS into rdesktop for correct download :)
---
cd /usr/local/src/
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/rdesktop login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/rdesktop co rdesktop
./bootstrap; ./configure; make; make install
----

Not have documentation into kdenetwork/krdc about this... only find into
http://www.kde.org/announcements/changelogs/changelog3_2_3to3_3.php... now rdesktop external. :)
