<sigh> My stuff is similar to yours and Volker's, didn't work with mysqle. Even tried downgrading binutils, which fixed one error and revealed another. I have now made a decision. I was a faithful amarok user for 5 years. In the kde-3.5 days it worked flawlessly and never gave a day's trouble. The switch to KDE-4 has been fraught with problems from day 1 - all the decent features went away, then the devs spent two years fiddling with the gui while the palyer didn't *actually* play music (gee whizz, whodathunkedit? That a user might actually play music on his media player). Then the monumental cock-up with MySQL and -fPIC, the jumping through hoops that caused with every single distro out there, mysql-5.1.* is still not in the tree un-hardmasked, and now this crap. Amarok, it was nice knowing you. One day you might build and play music again on all sane systems out there. Meanwhile, I think I want to hear songs play so some other player is going on this machine and you are coming off. Bye bye now, and don't bump your head on the door when you leave. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
