I am just setting up ... tried and got error messages about need to install taglib. Taglib installed OK no errors.

Thanks in advance for the help,

Cheers,

What doesn\'t work?

I have nearly the same problem, when i try to run amarok the first time, the config wizard shows up. When its finished, amarok crashes. If i try to start it again, it says something about it \"cant connect to engine\":

Im running SuSE Linux 9.3 with KDE 3.4 and amaroK 1.2 (the version from the system dvd)

Ive tried amaroK 1.3 now, too and it crashes at the same moment. (cannot connect engine::base.....)

Hey I solved the problem:
YOU installed a new kernel version, after a reboot amaroK worked (again). Maybe it had a prob with the old kernel modules. I dunno what exactly it was, but now it works

aargh this prog really annoys me. now it crashes with the same problem as above.... what shall I do!?

Compile it with debug on. That error message you keep refering to actually doesn\'t mean anything.

Could/can you hear sound at all on your system? Maybe something was broken or not properly configured with your kernel sound drivers (also, oss, ... ?) Just some thoughts...

Yea sound works fine, amarok run 2 times, too, then it didnt again. Had some issues with the x-server now, too so I gonna reinstall my system. I think its easier to reinstall linux than trying to fix it.....

okay amaroK doesnt run on the fresh system with _no_ additional software. Gonna post the results of compiling/running with debug today afternoon, but one other suggestion: may it be the prob that amarok tries to read my complete library from a ntfs formatted partition? -> does amarok try to write something in the library folder?
