Hi
Although it might be quite a bit of work IMHO it is best that you compile amaroK yourself.
no way. I'm not going to install a tonns of kde*-devel just to compile amarok. It is enough that I've installed kdebase, kdelibs, kdeartwork... I dont need there packages for anything except the amarok. If I was enjoying compiling things myself I would stay on gentoo and never install fc.
more than that, from all this fanciness of amarok the only useful feature for me is dynamic playlist. I madman was able to do that amarok would never appear on my box.
It should be noted that amaroK does NOT depend on MySQL. In fact, amaroK uses standard a PostgreSQL database and can be compiled with MySQL support.
amaroK does crash often if there are incosistencies between the several components and dependencies. For that reason, I downloaded and compiled all dependencies seperatly and proceeded to compile amaroK. Always use the same compiler and compile on the same machine.
well, I thought that yum takes care of that. Isn't this the main feature?
Further questions are best addressed to the amaroK mailing list.
I tried to ask on their irc-channel, they sent me to taglib developers :)
With kind regards
Andy

hey,
I just discovered amarok-1.3.5-1.fc4@i386.rpm in Fedora Extras, and wanted to install it hoping that this will solve the bug I have with my amarok 1.3.3 (it crashes on a 50% of my mp3 saying "TagLib: Compressed frames are not supported"). In fact I was extremely surprised to see that it pulls mysql (???) as dependency for itself! Whatta...? mysql-based mysic manager on a desktop machine? Isn't this a bit too much?
