Hi Thad,<br><br>If you don't want to go through the whole troubleshooting exercise, you could always try using a precompiled Amarok from one of openSUSE's repositories:<br><br>See here: <a href="http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=amarok&baseproject=openSUSE%3A11.4&lang=en&exclude_debug=true" target="_blank">http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=amarok&baseproject=openSUSE%3A11.4&lang=en&exclude_debug=true</a><br>
<br>According to this entry on the wiki:<br><a href="http://en.opensuse.org/KDE_repositories#Updated_applications_only" target="_blank">http://en.opensuse.org/KDE_repositories#Updated_applications_only</a><br><br>You would want this repository: <br>

<br>Just click on this last link, add it to Yast and then upgrade amarok. You should be good to go.<br><br>Peter<br><br clear="all">"Happiness makes up in height what it lacks in length"<br>-- Robert Frost<br>

I recently upgraded from SuSE 11.3 to 11.4. That went well enough, so I thought I'd try building and installing Amarok 2.4.1 beta 1 (<a href="http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/amarok/2011-March/032603.html" target="_blank">http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/amarok/2011-March/032603.html</a>). Most especially, I wanted to apply Daniel Faust's fix for various artists as the bug keeps me from using my iPod with Amarok (<a href="http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/amarok/2011-February/032586.html" target="_blank">http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/amarok/2011-February/032586.html</a>). (I also dream that some day podcasts will install to my iPod, but for now gpodder handles that chore.)<br>
<br>(BTW, the 2.4.1 beta 1 tarball download amarok-2.4.0.90.tar.bz2. I guess that's what I'm supposed to use.)<br><br>I followed the build instructions (<a href="http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Compiling" target="_blank">http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Compiling</a>), modifying instructions (<a href="http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Compiling" target="_blank">http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Compiling</a>) before running make. After a few attempts and pauses to install optional packages and additional devel RPMs, the build completed and I ran install (as root). However when I try to run amarok I get the following error dialog:<br>
<br><div style="margin-left:40px">Amarok could not find any collection plugins. It is possible that Amarok is installed under the wrong prefix, please fix your installation using:<br>$ cd /path/to/amarok/source-code/<br>
$ su -c "make uninstall"<br>$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` && su -c "make install"<br>$ kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental<br>$ amarok<br>More information can be found in the README file. For further assistance join us at #amarok on <a href="http://irc.freenode.net" target="_blank">irc.freenode.net</a>.<br>
</div><br>Note that the compiling instructions (<a href="http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Compiling" target="_blank">http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Compiling</a>) say nothing about running kbuildsycoca4. No matter, Amarok fails either way (kbuildsycoca4 shows many errors trying to read stuff in my old /opt/kde3 directory, but god knows if that can be safely removed).<br>
<br>What gives? Any ideas on a fix? I really need the various artists fix.<br clear="all"><font color="#888888"><br>-- <br>"Hell hath no limits, nor is circumscrib'd In one self-place; but where we are is hell, And where hell is, there must we ever be" --Christopher Marlowe, <i>Doctor Faustus</i> (v, 121-24)<br>
