Hi, i just got almost to the end of the compilation:

Code: Select all

make: *** [all] Error 2

since im on gentoo:

emerge -pv dev-db/mysql

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

i googled a bit, but just found a mySQL bug report from 2006....

Please read the Amarok documentation:

• http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/extragear/multimedia/amarok/README?revision=864903&view=markup
• http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Development/MySQL_Embedded

As the error says, you need to compile mysql with -fPIC flags.

thanks, sorry
