for what i know mysql has been a requirement for the collection db,
but i might be wrong. you might be able to compile amarok 1.4 without
mysql support, but with some other db installed. i personally haven't
seen any new linux system without one db installed and usually if you
install qt4 and kde4 you should have mysql installed as a
prerequisite, so mysql shouldn't really be a problem.
anyway, if you have kde4 i'd advice you to pass to amarok2.
