Amarok doesn't start

Wed Aug 23, 2006 1:24 pm
After compiling the latest SVN revision, Amarok stops loading after printing these messages:
Code: Select all
amarok: BEGIN: App::App()
amarok: BEGIN: void App::fixHyperThreading()
amarok:     SCHEDAFFINITY_SUPPORT disabled since this isn't Linux
amarok: END__: void App::fixHyperThreading() - Took 0.0017s
amarok: END__: App::App() - Took 0.015s

amarok:     [PluginManager] Plugin trader constraint: [X-KDE-Amarok-framework-version] == 26 and [X-KDE-Amarok-plugintype] == 'engine' and [X-KDE-Amarok-name] == 'void-engine' and [X-KDE-Amarok-rank] > 0
kio (KMimeType): WARNING: KServiceType::offers : servicetype Amarok/Plugin not found

After that, it pops up an error message saying:
Code: Select all
Amarok could not find any sound-engine plugins. Amarok is now updating the KDE configuration database. Please wait a couple of minutes, then restart Amarok.
If this does not help, it is likely that Amarok is installed under the wrong prefix, please fix your installation using:
$ cd /path/to/amarok/source-code/
$ su -c "make uninstall"
$ ./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix` && su -c "make install"
$ kbuildsycoca
$ amarok
More information can be found in the README file. For further assistance join us at #amarok on irc.freenode.net.


I'm using NetBSD 3.0 with KDE 3.5.1 and I'm compiling with gcc. It's the first time that I compile Amarok, precompiled versions worked fine with the same configuration.

ok, before you compile amarok, you need to run
Code: Select all
configure


At the end of this, it will tell you what is and is not going to be compiled. It sounds like you're missing the devel libs for xine.
An alternative would be to install helixplayer or RealPlayer and tell amarok to
Code: Select all
configure --with-helix

Strange, XINE is enabled (./configure --prefix=/usr/pkg --enable-debug=full):

if you re-read the message, you'll see amarok likes being installed in your kde-prefix.
rerun configure with the requested prefix line as mentioned in your error message, and try again. Don't forget to 'make install' (as root) after 'make'.

You could also try running 'kbuildsycoca' as user.

Yes, I already know it. In facts, my KDE prefix is '/usr/pkg' (kde-config --prefix).

Usually this error implies a broken ksycoca database. Happens e.g. when you have multiple KDE versions installed, or wrong permissions.

Run "kbuildsycoca" from the shell and paste the output.
