[SOLVED] songbird

[want2bdifferent]

hey i dont know if this is the right section as i am new anyway.

I just downloaded songbird 0.6 of the get songbird site and i do not know how to install it.

I am running Ubuntu 7.04

any help would be appreciated
thanks

that looks to be a source file, it would probably be easier to look for a deb package and install it that way. Have a look here (http://www.getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=songbird) for a deb, after downloading all you have to do is double click the deb package to start installing it.

thankyou heaps, all i want it for is iPod support

[meindian523]

iPod support is available on Rhythmbox and amarok too.But I'm not too sure if they support the 3rd generation,if that is what you have.

[want2bdifferent]

I have a third generation ipod nano.

but now i have another problem whenever i try to open songbird it just says "starting songbird" down the bottom and then nothing.

[meindian523]

Please run
songbird in terminal and post any error messages here.Did you install using a *.deb?

[want2bdifferent]

I did install using a *.deb

this is the error message i got in terminal
emily@fred:~$ songbird
./songbird: symbol lookup error: /usr/share/Songbird/xulrunner/libxul.so: undefined symbol: g_once_init_enter_impl

thanks again

Nopes,I put up my hands here.I can't even get what that message means.

[want2bdifferent]

would it matter what version i am using? cos like i said i am only running 7.04

[Partyboi2]

looks like there could be a problem with xulrunner built against a newer glib

You could try uninstalling the deb file and install the tar.gz package using this guide --> http://www.howtoforge.com/installing_songbird_on_ubuntu_gutsy_gibbon

oh what i have tried so far is:
-un-installing the deb file and re-installing it
-i have tried the previous' posts suggestion and i still have the same problems

[meindian523]

It's a known bug,you have to wait till it's resolved or find out what to do from the links partyboi pasted.

It's odd because I don't seem to be affected.

[meindian523]

It's a problem with the glibc version with which Songbird was compiled,atleast that's what sense I can make of the bug report.
You not having a problem is probably because your glibc is older.
