When I switched from SuSE and KDE to Ubuntu and GNOME the only application that I was missing a lot was amaroK. It's such a good music player. The latest version on hoary is 1.2.3. But the latest beta version has very nice features such as Wikipedia artist lookup, improved sidebar and playlist etc. (changes in beta1 (http://amarok.kde.org/content/view/55/66/) and beta2 (http://amarok.kde.org/content/view/56/66/)). So I decided to compile it myself. Since I'm not a KDE fan anymore I had to download more than 30 devel packages and uninstall them later on which was a pain in the neck. I thought I might save some of you guys who are interesed in amaroK from this hassle. But firstly you need to install all the dependencies yourself (install the amaroK form hoary to have all the dependencies installed and then uninstall the main package and install the beta package instead). After installing the dependencies open a terminal and type:

wget http://www.lsr.ph.ic.ac.uk/~ho1/linux/deb/amarok_1.3-beta2-1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i amarok_1.3-beta2-1_i386.deb

[Caboto]

I agree. Amarok is an absolut great program. Probably one of the best progs, i've installed lately (and that are really many).

The latest package in the backports repos is 1.2.4. Nevertheless, how stable is this Beta release? I would be interested in the new features, but the player should stay as stable as possible, of course.

[moment]

Well as far as I've tested it's working ok and moreover it's the second beta release so a lot of bugs are fixed. The new features worth some rare random crashes :). Give it a try!

[Caboto]

Okay. I will try it. But it has to wait till tomorrow evening. I'll let you know how good/bad it worked. ;)

[hunteramor]

i enjoy amarok, but my concern for gnome fans that want to use it would be the memory drawbacks of having to install all of those extra libraries.

can anyone quantify how much extra ram is being used to support those libraries, etc., all for just one program?

[henriquemaia]

I really love amarok. Thanks a lot for this package!
The wikipedia feature is amazing. Thanks again.

[MikePB]

I love amaroK, just installed the beta.

I'd drop XMMS for amaroK in a heartbeat if I didn't have to manually advance on m4a files.. :???:

[pt123]

How do you get the Feature to fill in missing tags of MusicBrainz to work, when I click all it does is to take me to the site's search for the track.

When I click on "Fill In Tags using MusicBrainz"

It says track was not found in MusicBrainz database.

Does anyone know what module is used to perform that, I think I have to install it in Ubuntu.

[Mishura]

I installed that package, but Synaptic keeps complaining that "amarok-arts" and "amarok-gstreamer" is broken. I can't install anything with Synaptic without uninstalling the gstreamer engine (No engine = no play!). Is there some replacement packages for the engines somewhere that is 1.3 compatible, or is there a way to LIE to Apt/Synaptic?

[johnmc]

nice one, thank you very much! :)
apt just asked for libtag1 installed - now it works like a charm!

Thanks!

[Loungefly]

I had the same issues that Mishura had . How can I use this if there are no compatible engines for it? If I try to reinstall the engines in Synaptic it tries to make me install amarok 1.2.4 again :?

[moment]

gstreamer is included in the package. Please uninstall previous amarok engines and set the engine to gstreamer in amaroK.

[Mishura]

gstreamer is included in the package. Please uninstall previous amarok engines and set the engine to gstreamer in amaroK.

OK this worked. Thanks! :smile:

[manicka]

Thanks for this. Let us know if you build the next one as well :D

[Sephiriz]

Now that amaroK 1.3-beta3 has been released, after having used your debian package, can we just compile the source to get a new release to work? Because the way I understood what you supplied, it was simply a way of having all the external libraries needed easily gathered.

[manicka]

I'm just in the middle of trying to compile beta 3 from source and had to share this error message I recieved

ROTFL

= No suitable multimedia framework was detected. You need to install at least
= one of the supported frameworks as detailed in the amaroK README.
= If you are thinking, 'I have aRts you stupid configure!', then you probably
= need to install kdemultimedia-devel.

[billputer]

Is anybody working on a package for beta 3? I'd rather not have to compile it myself.

[manicka]

Beta 3 compiles failry easily and gives clear messages about which packages are needed if you don't have them. The major hassle I had was that it uses taglib 1.4 and hoary/breezy are only using libtag 1.3 . Major problem here was that I didn't know how to create the libtag libraries from source so I compiled a taglib 1.4 package and it seems to be coexisting quite happily with libtag 1.3.

For this reason I wouldn't be that keen on sharing the debs I've made in case it causes trouble for people. If anyone really wants them then I guess I could make them available, but with the usual caveats.

First impresions of beta 3. It seems a bit resource intensive when the main window is open, but okay when minimised to the systray. I also have access to arts and gstreamer as engines with this compile, but have stayed with gstreamer as it has more options and seems more reliable. I also had to rebuild my collection which wasn't that much of a biggy.

Apart from that everything seems pretty much the same as beta 2

[Lord Illidan]

When I type apt-get remove amarok, it tells me..

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
amarok amarok-arts amarok-gstreamer amarok-xine kubuntu-desktop
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 5 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives.
After unpacking 12.2MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?


What do I do? I don't want to remove kubuntu-desktop, but I want to install new amarok beta!

[Mishura]

"Kubuntu-desktop" is a meta package, that resolves dependencies and such when you install KDE fresh. The package itself, doesn't have anything really; and as far as I know its safe to remove.

Try this: Instead of removing amaroK, remove all the engines, and just upgrade amaroK via .deb package posted here. *Should* work, but I'm unsure.. its late right now. *zzZZzz*

[thechitowncubs]

how about beta3

[MikePB]

So, did the devs dump xine? Or did you just not include that? Because I found that xine will auto advance .m4a files while gstreamer won't....

[moment]

No I didn't include it myself.

[xodeus]

For all of those that really have problems understanding:

Install amarok from hoary's repo.

sudo apt-get install amarok

Then remove amarok and amarok-arts

sudo apt-get remove amarok

Now get the file:
wget http://www.lsr.ph.ic.ac.uk/~ho1/linux/deb/amarok_1.3-beta2-1_i386.deb

And install:
sudo dpkg -i amarok_1.3-beta2-1_i386.deb


Attatchment:
amaroK up and running.

[Lizzy]

Hi everyone :) ! I'm new here, plus i'm a complete newbie when it comes to Linux . I just wanted to thank you so much for the install-help xodeus. It is the first time i got amarok to work. I tried to install it before and it never worked (no sound). But now i'm happy \\:D/ .

Thanks again

Hi Lizzy.
All credits to moment, who started this. But you're welcome. Just wanted to make it simple.

[MikePB]

Thanks all of ya for putting this together. I sure as heck wouldn't be getting as proficient with Linux as I am if not for you and people like you.

But I think I'll wait on the latest version until I can get it with xine.. It won't let me have 1.3b2 and install amarok-xine. Keeps "upgrading" back to 1.2

Don't get me wrong, but I can't get gstreamer to advance automatically after playing an m4a file... The length reads something like 6 digits or something. Strangeness.

Bah :P 1.2 works fine for me ^_^

[moment]

how about beta3
Although the beta3 is not that much different from beta2 (The most obvious changes are the equaliser presets and podcasting support) I built the deb packages for the beta3 as well (amarok and libtag). But you need to firstly upgrade the libtag1 library to version 1.4:

get them:
wget http://www.lsr.ph.ic.ac.uk/~ho1/linux/deb/libtag1_1.4-1_i386.deb
wget http://www.lsr.ph.ic.ac.uk/~ho1/linux/deb/amarok_1.3-beta3-1_i386.deb
and install them:
sudo dpkg -i amarok_1.3-beta3-1_i386.deb libtag1_1.4-1_i386.deb

Hi again!! Something weird happend after an upgrade... all over sudden, amaroK doesn't work any more. I had to remove amaroK, and tried to install it again the same way as xodeus described.. but when it gets to unpacking the program, i'm told that an error acured regarding dependencies????? I'm a total newbie, and in addition to all this i'm not good with data-stuff (*just a girlie trying to use and understand Linux).. What am i doing wrong? Was it wrong to make an update/upgrade of Ubuntu? I'm having problems figuring out what sound engines to use, how to use them???

Sorry for my stupid questions :confused:
It's just that i liked the amaroK so much *sniff ](*,)

[Lizzy]

please upgrade your libgcc1 package by downloading it from here:
http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/dists/hoary-backports/main/binary-i386/libgcc1_4.0.0-7ubuntu6~5.04ubp1_i386.deb

and then go to the directory you have downloaded it and install it:
sudo dpkg -i libgcc1_4.0.0-7ubuntu6~5.04ubp1_i386.deb

and then reinstall libtag and amaroK again. It should be fine. :-)

[Lizzy]

](*,) ](*,) ](*,) I give up....... this is almost too much for me....
i downloaded the file.... it got downloaded into Home.... like all the other amaroK files... and then what? i extracted them... how do i install them???
(I'm realy almost crying, cause i believe i'm too stupid for this=Linux, just startet with it 1 month ago. )

1. i downloaded the file... the file ended up in Home (like all the other amaroK-files)
2. extracted the file.. in the same folder
3. now what?


Guess i need a crash-course in Linux :roll:
sorry to bother :???:

[moment]

Don't get disappointed :D It was my fault that I didn't explain it very well. OK again. You don't need to extract it. After downloading it open a terminal then install it by entering this command in the terminal:

sudo dpkg -i libgcc1_4.0.0-7ubuntu6~5.04ubp1_i386.deb

[Lizzy]

*crying even more and lowder..... ](*,)

I downloaded the file
opened a shell.... and then entered the code...
and then:---->>>> this message came up

there is something wrong, eighter with my brain or my system *lol

[moment]

It's because your file is not in the home directory. it's probably on your Desktop. You need to change to the directory that you have downloaded the file:

cd ~/Desktop

and then issue that command. If that didn't work either do this:
wget http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/dists/hoary-backports/main/binary-i386/libgcc1_4.0.0-7ubuntu6~5.04ubp1_i386.deb

Ok.... thank u ever so much moment, for your tips and for being so nice :smile: :
So here's what happend.... i managed to download and install the libcc1...successfully... i managed to download and install amaroK beta2...successfully....but... amaroK crashes :???: :???: #-o

eek.... Now i realy give up.... it worked like a bell yesterday, until i made that horrible mistake and said yes to an update/upgrade for god knows what it was!! *lol

I'm not cring anymore., i'm now laughing about my own stupidity \\:D/

[moment]

I'm sorry that I couldn't be of any help but did you try the beta3 as well? Follow this post:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=297377&postcount=28

PS. do you get any broken packages warning when you open the Synaptic Package Manager (in System -> Administration)? Did you upgrade your Ubuntu usind the red icon that appears in the notification area? In that case you might be able to undo it by looking at the history of synaptic. Hope it helps.

[Lizzy]

thank u ever so much, moment... well, u are a great help!! :smile:
i checked there, and i didn't get any message there, but i got it when i first tried to install amaroK.. i probably did something stupid there as well when i clicked on fix broken package *LOL
That is what happens when a girl without data experience tries to go for Linux...
i asked for it... but i won't go back to MS [-X
i'd rather learn something new (the hard way :grin: )

thx ;-)

Try to find out which program is claiming /dev/dsp with:

$ fuser -v /dev/dsp

Here you can either kill that program manual or through a terminal ( "fuser -k /dev/dsp" or "kill <pid>" ). I recommend you switch to the gstreamer alsasink in amarok though.

hi
i have a problem with the engine, amarok 1.3 says
that the gstreme can play mp3
i used xine with amarok 1.2
and i read before in the post that you don't.
So, how i get amarok to play mp3 with gstreme?
thanks
yhotg

edit:
the strange thing is that i can play .ogg
so why mp3 is not playing?
maybe i forgot to install some gstreamer file ?

[manicka]

Looks like you have not installed the necessary plugin to play mp3's with gstreamer.

Install the metapackage

gstreamer0.8-plugins

that way you'll get every plugin available for gstreamer

[Rob2687]

I installed this then I tried to go back to the one available in apt-get but now no version of Amarok will run :(

this does not really work that easy, if you come from amarok 1.2, so (this also cleans broken installations). And your libtag1 also does NOT work on hoary! So:


sudo apt-get remove --purge amarok-*
sudo apt-get install libtag1/hoary
sudo dpkg -i amarok-1.3_1.3-1_i386.deb

Libtag works fine on my Hoary.

i've tried to `sudo apt-get remove --purge amarok-*` but without success :(
any hints?
Try using a search in synaptic and remove all the amarok packages that way

[manicka]

May someone tell me, how i can compile the mysql-support into the source? What packages do i need for this feature?

Ninnghizidha.

My suggestion would be to install any relevant client, server and dev files. amarok should then pick them up during ./configure

[thomax]

certainly, follow the above get libtag as posted previously in this thread:
wget http://www.lsr.ph.ic.ac.uk/~ho1/linux/deb/libtag1_1.4-1_i386.deb


then get amarok1.3 final from me:
wget http://pep.homelinux.net/~tonio/amarok-1.3_1.3-1_i386.deb
and install both of them:
sudo dpkg -i amarok_1.3_1.3-1.deb libtag1_1.4-1_i386.deb

Edit: I have kde_3.4.2, and I compiled an x86 version.

Thanx this worked perfectly for me :)

[Alienist]

I should add that not installing the 1.4 lib crashed Amarok every time I started it. So I had to go back to PeP's instructions and just fix the pathways to Amarok, as the snippet he gave was wrong. Right idea but wrong execution. Anyway - working like a charm now. Liking the wiki lookup.

was this compiled with mysql support? thanks for compiling.

I've compiled a build with checkinstall, that has aRts and xine engines as well. You're welcome to give it a try if you like.

I didn't install the libtag 1.4 pakage and it seems to work just fine...except that it wont sent Audioscroble data. Would not installing the libtag pakage cause this? I would really like for this feature to work!

Audoiscrobbler plugin works just fine with Beep Player, but I really don't much like it.

Also, how can I install visualizations without installing XMMS, and is it too late now that I've installed the deb?

Questions questions, lol!


When I try to install the .deb it gives me this error:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libtag1:
libtag1 depends on libgcc1 (>= 1:4.0.0-7); however:
Version of libgcc1 on system is 1:4.0-0pre6ubuntu7.

has the pakage been updated since this post was made?

doesnt work for me. installs fine. but when i start amarok, an error message comes up saying that itcant find any sound engines which is understandable cuz when i removed amarok 1.2, amarok-xine, amarok-engines etc all gotremoved. and now i cant get them back with the latest version of amarok.
any suggestions?

its compiled with a sound engine, so there is no need for an extra package

search libtag and remove that, install the new one, remove old amarok, install the new one

easy as pie.

i posted the message after I did all that.. still says it cant find the sound engine...

[arnieboy]

ok I figured out the solution:
I needed to install the following packages:
kdemultimedia
kdemultimedia-dev
gstreamer0.8-plugins

These 3 packages help set up the aRTs and gstreamer sound engines for amarok

[foxy123]

well, I have finally noticed that I have to uninstall previous versions of libtag and amarok. Now it works! Thanks a lot.

BTW, has anyone know if it is possible to get rid of konqueror in the amarok. I mean if you click on musicbranz icon and do not have konqueror installed, you've got the following message:
Could not launch the browser
Could not find service 'kfmclient'

kfmclient is a part of konqueror and I doubt if it is possible to install it without it. I just do not install konqueror for that because it tails a huge amount of libraries I do not need.

[Caboto]

the .deb

http://pep.homelinux.net/~tonio/

the install procedure didn't change

please mirror it the site won't be up for so long ...
And nobody did mirror it? :(
It's down now and i didn't get the chance to download it...

Edit: I've tried to compile it for myself and i was astonished that it worked completly fine. But somehow it compiled without the gstreamer engine.. :/ Will have a look at that later.

[foxy123]

has anyone compiled 1.3.1 already?

[jobezone]

Hi, maybe this is late in the thread, but when installing individual .DEB packages, there are only 2 steps to do to have all the depencies installed automatically using apt-get (if they are available from the configured repositories, of course).
Firs step:
sudo dpkg -i package.deb

This will give some errors that there are unmet dependencies. Then, just tell apt-get to fix everything for you, using:

sudo apt-get -f install

This will download the dependencies, if they are available in the repositories, and finish installing the previous package.deb.

[Magadass]

i enjoy amarok, but my concern for gnome fans that want to use it would be the memory drawbacks of having to install all of those extra libraries.

can anyone quantify how much extra ram is being used to support those libraries, etc., all for just one program?

Seriously though this should not be an issue to anyone these days should it? RAM is very very cheap, and in my opinion everyone should have at least 1 gb...

I stopped paying attention to RAM usage along time ago, these days I could really careless how much ram an application uses, but I guess some people are really anal about how much system resources are being used un-necessarily...But in reality if you put it all into perspective and put your retentiveness aside I dont think its a big deal!!

Just had to throw my 2 cents in their, cause I constantly see these comments and I just cant justify why people are still so cautious about memory usage....

[foxy123]

So what about 1.3.1 with some bugfixes? I would have compiled it myself, but I do not have KDE installed, which many libraries are needed to compile and I would not like to install all of them just to make one package...

[w0073r]

has anyone compiled 1.3.1 already?
I compiled 1.3.1 without a problem (after realizing the gstreamer dev package was under libgstreamer...oops), but am not familiar with how to make packages and such, so I can't give you one. :P

[xbaez]

I am compiling
amarok_1.3-beta3-1_i386.deb

This one includes:
==========================
=== amaroK - PLUGINS ================================================== ======
==========================
=
= The following extra functionality will be included:
= + aRts-engine
= + GStreamer-engine
= + MAS-engine
= + Helix-engine
= + MySql support
= + Konqueror Sidebar
=
================================================== =============================

I can upload it to my website
http://downloads.gamingaccess.com
but I will first like to see if people will be willing to go to my website and download it

I don't know and I don't have much time in order to make my site a repository for amarok, and the file I made is called:
amarok_1.3-beta3-1_i386.deb , it's version is 1.3-beta3
In order to make it "Ubuntu comptabile" it's version should be 2:1.3-beta3, the file should be called:
amarok_2%3a1.3-beta3-0ubuntu1~5.04ubp2_i386.deb

Anyway, installation is easy and I've used it for over a month now, and it works GREAT

All you have to do is
1) download the libtag and amarok .deb files (I can upload them today)
2) upgrade libtag with a .deb file I've already made
3) remove all the amarok deb files
4) install this one

The main feature that I like of amarok is that
1) You'll have lots of engines to chose and features:
= + MySQL Support apart from SQLite
= + aRts-engine
= + GStreamer-engine
= + MAS-engine
= + Helix-engine
= + MySql support
= + Konqueror Sidebar
2) One .deb file includes all these features, you can select the engine that works best (for me it's gstreamer with autoconf)
3) compatible with Ubuntu Hoary (and possible Breezy)
4) You can install plugins such as lyrics and have fetched lyrics for your songs, and you have a nice WIKI Information

I will open a new thread asking people if they will be willing to go to my site and download these, I haven't seen many .deb for amarok.

I will also like to learn how to make a .deb file with it's version 2:1.3-beta3

I wonder why you are compiling 1.3beta3, while 1.3.1 is already available?

[xbaez]

Didn't noticed that, I can make a package for that one, but that wouldn't be neccesary if that version will come with Breezy

[xbaez]

I've checked Breezy and noticed that version 1.3 is not there, so maybe there's a point in compiling this .deb file of amarok, anyone interested?

Brezzy seems to include version 1.2.4

[yhotg]

So what about 1.3.1 with some bugfixes? I would have compiled it myself, but I do not have KDE installed, which many libraries are needed to compile and I would not like to install all of them just to make one package...

hi,
sorry but i don't get your meaning.
i found 2 .deb of 1.3.1 here in this same thread (or i am wrong?)

in the first post u have an update2 pointing u to
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=304006&postcount=54
that's a post in this same thread with one .deb (i think it comes with gstreamer)

and the second one is
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=305253&postcount=62
with xine

or you r talking about a newer version than those?

:wink: yhotg

[zer]

or you r talking about a newer version than those?
Yes, as you can see on the amarok page (http://amarok.kde.org/component/option,com_frontpage/Itemid,66/), the newest version is 1.3.1, not 1.3-1 :)
I want it!!!! ....but i don't know how i could get a deb-file.

but i can wait too 'cos the 1.3.-1 is working well enough lol

Amarok built by Xavier Baez, totally compatible with Ubuntu/Kubuntu Hoary Hedgegod 5.04 and possibly compatible with Breezy. The latest version of Amarok includes cool features such as WIKI, Lyrics (you can install plugins such as lyrics in order to have fetched lyrics as well)
<br>
This special build includes:
Gstreamer (alsa, oss, gaudioconfig...),Helix, MySQL, MAS... support, ALL the engines that you can get from the ./configure script have been included
<br>
<b>INSTRUCTIONS</b>
1) check that you have all the dependencies:
<i>artsbuilder (>= 4:3.4.0), kdelibs4 (>= 4:3.4.0), konqueror (>= 4:3.4.0), libart-2.0-2 (>= 2.3.16), libarts1 (>= 1.3.2), libasound2 (>> 1.0.8), libaudio2, libaudiofile0 (>= 0.2.3-4), libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4), libesd0 (>= 0.2.29-1) | libesd-alsa0 (>= 0.2.29-1), libflac6, libfontconfig1 (>= 2.2.1), libfreetype6 (>= 2.1.5-1), libgamin0, libgcc1 (>= 1:4.0.0-7), libglib1.2 (>= 1.2.0), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.6.0), libgstreamer0.8-0 (>= 0.8.9-1), libgtk1.2 (>= 1.2.10-4), libice6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libidn11 (>= 0.5.2), libjpeg62, libmusicbrainz4 (>= 2.1.1), libmysqlclient14 (>= 4.1.10a), libogg0 (>= 1.1.2), libpcre3 (>= 4.5), libpng12-0 (>= 1.2.8rel), libpopt0 (>= 1.7), libqt3c102-mt (>= 3:3.3.3), libsm6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libstdc++5 (>= 1:3.3.4-1), libtag1 (>= 1.4-0), libtunepimp2 (>= 0.3.0), libvorbis0a (>= 1.0.1), libvorbisenc2 (>= 1.0.1), libvorbisfile3 (>= 1.0.1), libx11-6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libxcursor1 (>> 1.1.2), libxext6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libxft2 (>> 2.1.1), libxi6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libxinerama1, libxml2 (>= 2.6.17), libxrandr2 | xlibs (>> 4.3.0), libxrender1, libxt6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), xmms, zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.1)</i>
2) install libtag version 1.4 #dpkg --install libtag1_1.4-0_i386.deb
2) remove amarok (all engines, I recommend using synaptic and removing everything that starts with amarok)
3) install this new version of amarok #dpkg --install amarok_1.3.1-1_i386.deb
4) you can go to synaptic, search for amarok, and lock the version so that you won't be bugged about updating amarok.

[xbaez]

I recommend you to use Gstreamer Engine and use the output plugin Gconfaudiosink

I've tried with all the engines:
Helix
Gstreamer
aRTS
MAS

And that one seems to use a reasonable ammount of memory (using aRTS for example makes Arts and amarok use much more VMemory Size)

I really hope some downloads, my first work in Linux :)

you'd better to ask in Breezy forum, since the libtag and amarok here are compiled in Hoary. There is a thread in Breezy about compiling amarok as I remember...

[yhotg]

hi again.
how's working the 1.3.1.-1?
r already all the engines included and working ?

or better to wait a little more? lol

[shanghaipi]

Yes, remove the libtag that is in the repositories if you are running Breezy. If you notice, that version is still 1.3 and not libtag 1.4. Unfortunately, running the Amarok 1.3.1 is not possible in Breezy right now, unless you want to hunt down all those needed .deb files on the internet. Just stay with 1.3 right now, backports are coming for Breezy in just a month.

1) uninstall amarok and all the amarok* packages
2) install libtag
3) install amarok

so basically the ONLY package that changes is libtag1.4, the rest of your Hoary is the same as it was before.

Besides I've read that version 1.2 will be included in Breezy

i'm trying to compile amarok 1.3.1 on kubuntu with a k7 kernel

i get this error when trying to ./configure or ./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix` (which is what the readme says to do):

checking for KDE... configure: error:
in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!

what do i do?

EDIT: problem solved by installing kdemultimedia-dev

hi again:

i saw this on the amarok site today:

amaroK Airborne 1.3.2
Tuesday, 20 September 2005

so, where r we now? is there somebody trying to do the .deb?

[xbaez]

I've made the .deb for amarok 1.3.1
http://downloads.gamingaccess.com, search for 'amarok'

I've made the .deb for amarok 1.3.1
http://downloads.gamingaccess.com, search for 'amarok'
1.3.2 got alsasink fix... could you build it as well? I may try on weekend on the another pc (this one has a dependency hell for some reasons)...

I've made the .deb for amarok 1.3.1
http://downloads.gamingaccess.com, search for 'amarok'

well i finally got over my pop up-add dislike and went to your site and got amarok 1.3.1
it sounds Great!

and it has the splash screen of my in use theme! nice!

i, now, have a technical question:

why gstreamer and no xine?

i don't know the difference between both engines, but as xine was the first one i got actually working in my first week of linux i since then had a soft spot for it.

(i am being subjective or amarok 1.3.1 sounds better?))

[yhotg]

hi again, some weeks have passed
there's nobody with the amarok 1.3.2 .deb package?

pls pls pls??changed to

;-)


Or have u all upgraded to breezy already?

I tried to install amarok 1.3, but I get this:

amarok depends on libgcc1 (>= 1:4.0.0-7); however:
Version of libgcc1 on system is 1:4.0-0pre6ubuntu7.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?
