Thanks for the reply!
I was in hopes that relinking something might help.  I am just unsure of 
what "ocsData" is
Amarok is a great player of my files!  Which is a mix of mp3 and oggs

the distro only plays oggs without downloading a bunch of missing things 
which cause mp3 not to work.  Besides I am on the Amarok email list and 
find out added features are in newer git versions and openSuSE is behind 
several times.  If openSuSE would make their version of amarok work I 
might use it but it also crashes at it's bootsplash (or did).  I am 
running a version 2.4 git which I downloaded and built.  It is an 
openSuSE problem causing most of the problems 11.4  I agree it is a test 
version but why does everything seem to not be checked before turning it 
out.  Like Blender and Flightgear due to NV, gpm won't work, K3B 
complains of mp3, NV.run and it used to be OpenOffice (now LibreOffice 
which works).  Besides over the past 15 years I have always built 
SVN/CVS/GIT software.  It is a way to guarantee that all dependencies 
are met.

Oh Yes! I fixed "gpm" by downloading it and installing it.
