I have been trying for like a week now to get amarok running and I just seemt o run into errors everywhere I go.  it compiles and installs fine, when I run it I get the first run wizard.  everything goes fine, finish the wizard, and then amarok crashes with a SIGSEGV, every time.  I am using amarok 1.4.1 on Slackware 10.2, kde 3.5.3.  Here is the output:

I have tried it with both mysql (yes I have it setup) and sqlite.  And I have tried deleting the .amarokrc as well as the collection.db and all that.

The backtrace is invalid, but with gdb I get this:

any help please?  I really want to try out amarok.  Oh and btw, I seem to get the same error if I install from source or from a package.

Rebuild TagLib. Yours seems to be broken.

Check which version of tunepimp you have installed.  I had this same crash using Gentoo because I also had tunepimp-0.5.0 installed as part of a musicbrainz overlay.  Unfortunately 0.5.0 has changed API compatibility which will still allow Amarok 1.4.1 to compile, but it will crash on startup.  Either downgrade back to tunepimp-0.3.x releases or stay with Amarok 1.4.0.

I love libtunepimp.
