When trying to compile any of the amarok versions, I'm getting an xmmswrapper error during compilation, and then it dies out.

I'm a gentoo user, and I have the latest version of xmms installed. If I add -xmms to my use variables (basically compile amarok without xmms support) it compiles just fine. What am I doing wrong. Should I be building it with xmms?

Can you provide the compile error?

Sorry, it's taken me awhile to respond. Here is the output.

You are apparently missing some fundamental header. The error is inside an xmms header file. Probably some gtk header is missing?

I can't really offer any more assistance here sorry.

I had exactly the same problem and it\'s really easy to fix: There are some header of xmms in /usr/local/include, so they are included in xmmswrapper.c and cause this error. If you don\'t have xmms on your system, just delete /usr/local/include/xmms and all should be fine.
