I recently installed OpenSUSE 11 (moving from Ubuntu 8.04).

I have Amarok 1.4.9 and have compiled the latest version of libgpod from CVS - I've renamed the old lib, and copied the newly compiled version into /usr/lib.

However, Amarok doesn't seem to be even using the new version, and I have even tried deleting libgpod.so.3.0.0 completely and Amarok still manages to read and write to the iPod.

Does anyone know why this is? Before on Ubuntu, the steps outlined above were all that was required to run Amarok against a new version of libgpod, but the build of Amarok in SUSE seems to work even when libgpod is removed?!

Any ideas?

I figured it out - I needed to copy the entire contents of /usr/local/lib after the build - not just the libgpod library...all working now

Next time, you may want to try to adjust the installation dir when running ./configure ( e.g., --prefix=/usr to install the lib into /usr/lib).
