i get these 2 errors since upgrading tonight:

/usr/kde/3.5/lib/kde3/libamarok_void-engine_plugin.so: No such file or directory

/usr/kde/3.5/lib/kde3/libamarok_xine-engine.so: No such file or directory

where might i find those so that i may place them in the correct spot?

How have you installed amarok?
Use find or locate to find these files on your system. However, it sounds like something is wrong with your installation (if you are using a packet system, maybe you forgot to install the "engine"-packets).

i used gentoo, so i installed via portage. i tried cleaning it out and re-emerging, but to the same effect.
