i use amarok 1.3.1 with mandriva 2006, which is nice, i like the program but it crashes quite often. so i'd like to upgrade to 1.4.
unfortunately this is much more difficult than i expected

installing the rpm: urpmi amarok-1.4.0-1.1.20060mdk.i586.rpm tells me i need libamarok0-1.4.0-1.1.20060mdk.i586.rpm. when i try urpmi libamarok0-1.4.0-1.1.20060mdk.i586.rpm i get the message i need amarok-1.4.0-1.1.20060mdk.i586.rpm first??? humpff? quite confusing imho.

ok, then i try to build from source. i get the message:

checking for libXext... no
configure: error: We need a working libXext to proceed. Since configure
can't find it itself, we stop here assuming that make wouldn't find
them either.

BUT:

[xxxxxx@xxxx amarok-1.4.0]$ locate Xext
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6.4


any help please. googling makes no sense at all

Try installing both the rpms with the same command.

I'm pretty sure there's another thread on here that has the exact command to use.

EDIT: this one... http://amarok.kde.org/forum/index.php/t ... 319.0.html

ok, i tried that with urpmi (mandriva's rpm wrapper) but it didn't work

gonna try the plain rpm command as it is described in the post you mentioned.


thanks for the feedback!

ok, it worked like a charm (on mandriva 2006)

Code: Select all

urpmi libifp

(is available via mandriva repositories (contrib?), rpm didn't work btw)

then

Code: Select all

rpm -Uhv libgpod0-0.3.0-0.1.20060mdk.i586.rpm

then

Code: Select all

rpm -Uvh amarok-engine-xine-1.4.0-1.1.20060mdk.i586.rpm amarok-1.4.0-1.1.20060mdk.i586.rpm libamarok0-1.4.0-1.1.20060mdk.i586.rpm

thanks!
