Hello everyone!

I had amarok 1.1 working just fine on my Mandrake 10.1 system, but i was unable to upgrade to 1.2 (neither beta1 nor beta2) using the the rpms i found in the Mandrake cooker. Although amarok starts up just fine, it crashes when i try to scan my collection. First i tried deleting the .kde/share/apps/amarok folder, but that didn\'t help. Some previous posts suggested that this is a Taglib issue so i upgraded to 1.3.1 (using the rpms i found here http://www.gkmweb.com/amarok/10.1/) but that didn\'t seem to do the trick either. The console output suggests that it\'s an sqlite issue, but trying to install the sqlite 3.0.8 rpms i found at http://www.gkmweb.com/amarok/10.1/ didn\'t help either.

Below is the output i get from the console, any help would be appreciated!
Thanx again!

You should compile amarok yourself !
I have mdk 10.1 and 1.2 beta1 works perfectly.

simple as this:
download sources
unpack
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install

You can actually discover if your problem is TagLib related. If this is the case in the directory you specified as the root of your collection there should be a log file telling which song made TagLib crash.

Bye, Valentin.

Sorry, I think the file should be in:

.kde3.3/share/apps/amarok

in your home directory.

Thank you both for your answers.

Well, i am definitely sure that it\'s NOT a Taglib issue: The collection scan log file seems OK, and amarok crashes even if i select to scan just a single, random directory. I still think this is an sqlite issue, but I am confused, because no version of sqlite was installed when I was running the 1.1 version anyway...

Anyway, i was hoping to avoid the compilation process, as I\'m not (obviously) an expert user, Upgrading from 1.0 to 1.1 with the rpms from the Mandrake cooker worked flawlessly before, so i guess I could either go back to 1.1 or wait for a newer version...

Thanks again for your help.

You must have the sqlite library, there is a sqlite command-line program that amaroK never uses.

Try moving/removing your amarok directory and amarokrc.

Definitely something wrong with your package. An undefined symbol is not a "normal" bug, i.e. a bug in the application. It means something went wrong with your built.

Had the same problems adding songs, but fixed by installing the 3 tablib/lib packages from the mandrake section.

Can now build collections to much delight.

Wow! So many replies! Thank you guys!

I think that Markey is right. The package from the Mandrake cooker must be defective or something. Anyway, for some reason I was convinced that the package I had was the same as the one available from the “Mandrake” link to the left of this page (http://www.gkmweb.com/amarok/10.1/), which turned out to be wrong (duh!)! So when I realized it and downloaded the one from the link above, everything worked perfectly!

Thanks again for your help,
Keep up the good work...
