Kivio: Frequently Asked Questions
Location / Home / Projects / Kivio / FAQ  I downloaded the Kivio source code but can't find the configure script. How do I compile it?
make -f Makefile.cvs
./configure
make
make install
When I run the new 0.9.2 release, kivio crashes!
Make sure that you don't have any of the old 0.9.1 (and anything earlier) hanging around on your system. 0.9.1 used the executable name 'kiviopart' to execute. The new 0.9.2 release uses 'kivio.' So before you install the new 0.9.2 release, find and delete all kivio pieces.
These are usually:
$KDEDIR/bin/kiviopart
$KDEDIR/bin/kivio
$KDEDIR/lib/*kivio*
$KDEDIR/share/apps/kivio/ (remove this directory)
That should be good enough before you install the 0.9.2 release.
I downloaded the Kivio binary, but get unresolved symbols when I run it. How do I get around this?
This is due to us compiling Kivio with one version of the KDE/KOffice/Qt libs, and you running a different version of those libraries. To fix this, download the Kivio source code and compile it.
How do I install Kivio stencils?
See the instructions on the download page.
When I run kiviopart, I get: koffice (lib kofficecore): ERROR: Unknown KOffice MimeType application/x-kivio. Check your installation !
If it exists, remove the kivio directory in $HOME/.kde/share/apps. Then run kbuildsycoca. This should rebuild KDE's internal mime-type tables.
After that you should be able to run kiviopart.
Can Kivio import/export Visio shapes/documents?
No. This is on our list of TODOs, but due to Visio's closed file format, it has a very low priority.
Can Kivio import/export Dia shapes/documents?
Not yet. This may be implemented in the future.
What license is Kivio released under?
The program itself is GPL and includes a single programmers flowchart stencil set. Additional stencil sets will be available for sale at a very low cost (around $5) each. The data making up the stencil set itself is copywritten by theKompany.com.
Can I compile Kivio without KDE/KOffice?
No, Kivio requires the KDE/KOffice libs to compile. Kivio is tightly coupled to KDE/KOffice through the KParts architecture. Making the changes which would allow for a non-KDE version of Kivio would be quite a chore.
Will Kivio run under Windows if I have the Windows version of Qt?
No, Kivio requires KDE/KOffice (see previous question), which are not available under Windows.
