Hey guys, I finally got Amarok to compile on Mac OSX using fink. Playback is perfect, the only problem I'm having is creating a collection! I can load the files and play them, but they are greyed out and don't count any statistics because I need to create a collection. I've already set the folders to watch and scan recursively and I know the songs are in this folder (since I can play them from there).
I've left Amarok for an entire day hopefully scanning, but I have a feeling it doesn't even scan because of the output I see in the console:
Can anyone make sense of that? it looks like it attempted to do stuff, but completed its tasks *very* quickly. I've fink-installed MySQL and SQLite to see if they were the problem - but it didn't help. Currently, there are 15000~ music files in the directory I've told it to scan, but I've tried a single directory with 10 or so files and still no luck. I've noticed that I can drag folders into the playlist and they songs will appear dark (not faded) but once I tell it to Rescan the Collection they get greyed-out and the Progress Bar doesn't leave "0%". Has anyone had this problem before? Thanks for any and all suggestions  -Aaron |

Has anyone gotten their collection to scan on Mac OS X? |

I've successfully scanned a collection using a fink-built amarok on osx.
I'm not really sure what the problem with your scan is, but have you tried deleting the database file and starting over, or even just deleting the entire amarok directory in ~/.kde/... |

I got the same problem here:
I get this error on two different macs. |

This seems strange, but I solved the problem by "source .profile" before starting amarok.
I did this, because /sw/bin was not in $PATH. I startet amarok with /sw/bin/amarokapp before. Now with correct $PATH and starting it with "amarok" everything works fine. Can anyone explain to me, WHY it works now? |

maybe because it was finding some older version of sqlite since it didn't know where to find the fink installed version.
That would be my guess. Did you put ". /sw/bin/init.sh" in your .xinitrc file? If you haven't already, you should read the fink documentation on setting up x11 on os x. http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/x11/index.php |
