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 ( http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/amarok/2011-March/032603.html). Most especially, I wanted to apply Daniel Faust's fix for various artists as the bug keeps me from using my iPod with Amarok ( http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/amarok/2011-February/032586.html). (I also dream that some day podcasts will install to my iPod, but for now gpodder handles that chore.)
(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.) I followed the build instructions (http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Compiling), modifying instructions (http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Compiling) 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: Amarok could not find any collection plugins. It is possible that Amarok is installed under the wrong prefix, please fix your installation using: $ cd /path/to/amarok/source-code/ $ su -c "make uninstall" $ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` && su -c "make install" $ kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental $ amarok More information can be found in the README file. For further assistance join us at #amarok on irc.freenode.net. Note that the compiling instructions (http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Compiling) 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). What gives? Any ideas on a fix? I really need the various artists fix. -- "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, *Doctor Faustus* (v, 121-24)
