I ran Amarok 1.1.1 under mandriva 10.2...now have Slackware 10.2 on my machine....just cant get any version of Amarok to run....seems to install OK but crashes when I fire it up.......can i install the RPM that came with Mandriva....on my Slackware OS????

Install the packages from slacky.it (I think you need at least amarok, xine-lib and libmusicbrainz).
Then smile

yes....also you need libtunepimp.....awesome!!!
