<font face="Calibri">OK I have Amarok building and debugging in
QtCreator. Big plus. Still in need of a mentor and will lurk on
irc and approach listed developers one by one as I can if I have
to, but here is today's question.<br>
<br>
The way I've configured it QtCreator by builds amarok to
$HOME/kde/build/amarok/src then copies the amarok binary to
$HOME/kde/bin.<br>
<br>
Cool. <br>
<br>
If I run the amarok binary in </font><font face="Calibri"><font
face="Calibri">$HOME/kde/build/amarok/src</font> it throws an
error:<br>
</font>

and the <b>Test Connection</b> button on the <b>Configure Database
dialog</b> is disabled.<br>
<br>
If I run the amarok binary in $HOME/kde/bin (identical binary) it
works fine. <br>
<br>
Now I have set it up to use an external MySQL database clearly.<br>
<br>
Something is awry and I have a gut feel that it's along these lines.
The amarok binary finds that I have an external database configured
somewhere (todo, figure out how it knows that) but then tries to
load a plugin which it can't find in one case but can in the other -
i.e. may have a relative path?<br>
<br>
I'll throw fish to any performing seal, um developer paying
attention, who helps me out here ;-).<br>
<br>
