Well I did try packman's 1.4.5 rpm and it complains about missing 
dependencies.   To which I did download, using "ldd 
/opt/kde3/bin/amarokap" after it failed showed.  It now comes up but 
states "no audio".
I think it is likely a mixed libs problem or permissions.  I was going 
to compile Amarok from source but it fails in /libvisual.  I did 
download and install libvisual and it's plugins.  Still amarok fails in 
/libvisual when compiled - more tonight maybe!.

Running as root I get this message - clue to try

Amarok could not find any sound-engine plugins. Amarok is now updating 
the KDE configuration database. Please wait a couple of minutes, then 
restart Amarok.
If this does not help, it is likely that Amarok is installed under the 
wrong prefix, please fix your installation using:
$ cd /path/to/amarok/source-code/
$ su -c "make uninstall"
$ ./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix` && su -c "make install"
$ kbuildsycoca
$ amarok
More information can be found in the README file. For further assistance 
join us at #amarok on irc.freenode.net.
