Hi all,
I had been up to recently been using amaroK 1.4.1-beta1 from the guru repository and though I sort of liked the new interface I decided that I would rather have solid support for Lastfm. I then switched versions to 1.4.1 from the opensuse repository kde backports repository. Since that time musicbrainz support has not been working, it simply just hangs saying it is generating a fingerprint and gives no results. Running amarok from the console is not giving any clues to the problem. After searching around I thought it was most likely a problem with the libtunepimp 0.4.2.1 (suse 10.1) and libtunepimp-mad 0.4.2.1 (suse 10.1) as these libraries are also from the suse guru repository that the beta version of amarok came from.

Can somebody who has musicbrainz functionality working with amarok 1.4.1 in suse 10.1 please tell me what version of libtunepimp and libtunepimp-mad they are running so I can try those instead. Incidentally yast shows suse guru libtune packages as the only ones available to me right now so if you can tell me were you got those packages that would also be helpful.

Thanks for suggestions and I will check back often to see if I have to elaborate on my question.

Perhaps this helps you:

Thanks for the suggestion but trying to compile isnt working I get when running ./configure

*
*  The zlib compression library is not installed.
*  download the library here:
*    http://www.gzip.org/zlib/

configure: error: Cannot build. Stop

Even zlib though it is installed

I had to downgrade to 0.3 to get it working.

@Zlib
maybe you need to (re-)install zlib-devel ?

I also had to start all over again, because nothing worked anymore.
After starting all over from the beginning, it worked, but after upgrading I lost all history..
Now it is working but yast still complains about a lot, and even suggests to uninstall Amarok!
I do not want to do that, because it is the nicest player I have ever seen, and I have seen them all...

M9.

Just now, I run the dependencychecker again, and now there was only helix not complete.
I uninstalled Helix, and all dependencies were allright after that, so...
What is clear to me now, is that when using SPM, you will have to reboot, if you want Yast to check.
