Not sure if upgrading to KDE 4.13 (I'm on beta 3) caused something new to download kate python plugins.
I made a normal link
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/kate_plugins $(kde4-config --localprefix)/share/apps/kate/pate
And from this thread kate noticed this comment
You have a simple installation guide here (Building Kate from Sources):
http://kate-editor.org/get-it/
After that you need to add kate.so to the python path ...
So, I did it.
root@sayth-TravelMate-5740G:/usr/lib/python2.7
Will the Pate engine still not load any offers?
