Well back up after a complete reload.  The reason is rather simple.
Bbecause you learn what a program wants and I also build into the source 
a athlon-xp and not a i586.  Besides not all RPMs have the same libraries.

After SuSE's screwing up the system with a ZMD-Updater of libzypp 
(zupper).  I did chase down a SuSE amaorok 1.4.5 RPM.  I install3ed it 
and it failed because it was built with a hard coded older lib for I 
forgot which one.  A link fixed that but then libvisual showed up 
screwed up.

Right out of the box SuSE 10.2's amarok 1.4.4 fails due to xine-lib.
Legal reasons have crippled xine.
