Ok well, good evening everyone.
I search the web for a few hours prior posting here.
The information is just not available on how to install Amarok in RHEL 6.

Can we make a simple HOW TO install for RHEL 6, I am sure I am not the only one looking for such information.
Let me paste how far I got, maybe someone can help me. Thanks In advance.

I suspect you are missing KDE development packages, and/or your version of KDE is too old.

Well this is what I have been reading almost everywhere.

Can you please walk me trough, tell me which package I need exactly.
And what information should I provide you so you can help me.

Thanks in advance

I don't know, I've never used RHEL. Check your KDE version; if it's older than 4.6 you're out of luck unless you want to build KDE and any of its dependencies necessary (which is not something I can help you with). If it's 4.6 or newer, you will need to look up or ask in a RHEL support forum how to install development packages for KDE.

I am using Gnome, would that be a problem?

You don't need to be using KDE as your desktop environment, but you do need KDE's libraries installed.

I am progressing, I got to a stage that I don't know how to fix it.
Any idea will be appreciated. Thanks

There is nothing wrong with that, just a message telling you that you already have a newer version installed.

Well why does it still ask for it then ?

Anyone have any suggestion please?

Well, you have a wrong version, read again: you need version 1.0.0-20.el6_2.5, but have 1.0.0-20.el6_2.4 installed. Sorry, I didn't see that immediately.

Are there strong reasons why you have to use CentOS or could you consider using Fedora instead? To be honest, CentOS is not exactly up-to-date with recent software and it will be quite hard to find all the necessary dependencies with the correct version, even with CentOS 6.2

Well I don't mind using anything that might work. Just walk me trough and let's try it.

Tell me what do I need to do, and I will do it.
Thanks Merci

And this happen when I try to install the 2.5.

Well, get yourself a recent Fedora version, install it and you will have the latest software you want. See also http://fedoraproject.org/.

Mind you, if the compatibility with Red Hat is not mandatory, any recent Linux distribution will do, for example http://kubuntu.org

I tough u meant we can use package for Fedora with my actual distribution. I cannot change the linux I am running right now. It's a work provided computer if you see what I mean...Thanks

Is there anything else to do?
