Some users are reporting build and runtime issues with vlc/amarok and a few other bits and pieces with kde11. It's seemingly related to glib event loop and plasma in some wonderful way that I haven't bothered figuring out yet. i.o.w. with current versions you may still not get it to build. Try downgrading a few versions. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
