When taglib is installed in non-standard location (not kde home or other),
taglib paths are not inserted into include path.

Configure looks like the following:
[code:1]./configure --prefix=/home/bdeegan/tools/lnx24/stow/amarok-1.4-beta1
--with-taglib=/home/bdeegan/tools/lnx24/stow/amarok-1.4-beta1[/code:1]

I looked in the configure, and all_includes is not getting the path to taglib

Anyone have a patch which fixes this? If not I\'ll try to make one.

--with-taglib is wrong (non existent AFAIK, as taglib is mandatory).
You want to use LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS to add the includes (see configure --help).
