Akregator starts with error message ‘Unable to load storage backend plugin “metakit”. No feeds are archived’

I was just playing around with different feed readers lately. I enjoy Akregator because it gives me all the options I need and probably the feature that I like the most is that it displays the number of unread items in the system tray and can be minimized to the tray as well.

I have installed Akregator on my machine at work and everything was working great. I installed it on my laptop and was having a problem that showed a message ‘Unable to load storage backend plugin “metakit”. No feeds are archived’ and all feeds were marked as unread even though it had previously been read.

Found a fix that was pretty simple. Just run kbuildsyscocoa from the command line and start it up again. Works like a charm.
