I just upgraded from Kubuntu Hardy to Karmic and Amarok stopped working. When trying to start via console, I get this error:

Code: Select all

amarok: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libamaroklib.so.1: undefined symbol: _ZTIN6TagLib3MP44FileE

Is this a problem with taglib? I've got version "1.6-2ubuntu2". I tried reinstalling both amarok and taglib but to no avail.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think so, since I have the same version here and everything works fine.

You should try with a blank installation, e.g. moving the folder
~.kde/share/apps/amarok/

and the configuration files:
~.kde/share/config/amarok*

Keep those as backups, since the first contains the collection and all your statistics.

I tried that but it still gives me the same error.

OK, so you can't start it at all? Could you please try with a new user, just to rule out it's not some configuration file that causes trouble?

Please post output of:

Code: Select all

ldd /usr/bin/amarok

Thanks in advance.

You have two conflicting versions of TagLib installed. You need to get rid of the bad one (the one that comes with KDE), and instead use the special one for Amarok, with AAC and MP4 support.

Get rid of this.

Sounds good. How exactly do I do that? Where can I get that "special one"?

You don't need to get anything. Actually, you should do a reverse to what markey suggested: just get rid of the library in /usr/local which I pointed you to earlier.

This is packages we are talking about. They typically work together (libtag1c2a and amarok) so in case of symbol lookup error like yours, there might be only two causes:

1) local version is used instead of packaged one (your case).
2) package dependencies are not strict enough (bug in packaging) and you have not upgraded fully .

That did it, thank you very much.

Well... it works but as it turns out, the file is restored on reboot. Can I fix that somehow without deleting the file again and again?

You gotta be kidding. I guess you are so confused that you don't know what you are doing. Let's start from the begging. What is the full path of "the file"?

Remove /usr/local/lib/libtag.so.1* instead of /usr/local/lib/libtag.so.1

You will probably remove the following:
/usr/local/lib/libtag.so.1
/usr/local/lib/libtag.so.1.0
/usr/local/lib/libtag.so.1.0.0

So uhm what was the solution here?
I get following too:

Code: Select all

amarok: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libamaroklib.so.1: undefined symbol: _ZTIN6TagLib3MP44FileE


- I've removed the folders in ~/.kde/apps and config and i have purged and reinstalled amarok after removing /usr/lib/libamaroklib.so.1 but i still keep getting the same error What's going on ? Using Kubuntu Karmic.

Thanks everyone!
