Amarok 1.4 Wont let me install!
 

Hi i've downloaded both the the amarok 1.4 rpm and the libamarok rpms but for some reason when i double click it i get the following message:

Some package requested cannot be installed:

amarok-1.4.0-1.1.20060mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied libamarok0[==1/4/0])

when i try installing the libamarok rpm i get the same but with

libamarok0-1.1.0-1.1.20060mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied amarok [== 1.4.0-1.1..20060mdk])


Any ideas? is it asking me to somehow install them together?

Try urpmi amarok-1.4.0-1.1.20060mdki.586-mdk.rpm from the cli.
Good luck.

no luck:

[root@localhost My Downloads]# urpmi amarok-1.4.0-1.1.20060mdk.i586.rpm
Some package requested cannot be installed:
amarok-1.4.0-1.1.20060mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied libamarok0[== 1.4.0])
Continue? (Y/n) y
[root@localhost My Downloads]#

How about trying the -- nodeps argument.
Good luck.

put all the necessary rpm packages into a folder, and then run from console as root urpmi *.rpm (after having navigated into that folder). This will permit you to see the dependencies on other packages, and to find those you could use pbone.net

Thats how I did, on the same distro, ,and it worked perfectly.

Good Luck

I'm sinking deeper and deeper into dependancies:

I thought i found what amarok is craving for (libgpod) but i get this when i put them all in the same directory:

[root@localhost Amarok1.4]# urpmi *.rpm
Some package requested cannot be installed:
amarok-1.4.0-1.1.20060mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied libgpod.so.0)
libamarok0-1.4.0-1.1.20060mdk.i586 (due to missing amarok-1.4.0-1.1.20060mdk.i586)
libgpod0-devel-0.3.0-0.1.20060mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied libgpod0[== 0.3.0])
Continue? (Y/n)


looking in pbone.net , it says that libgpod0 should have libspod.so.0 (i've doubled clicked on it and installed it manually) i'm still baffle by the first two lines , surely they contradict lol

i think i'm going to try finding an earlier release of 1.4 maybe i just downladed a dud.

sorry, made a mistake, installed libgpod not libpod0 lol

after loading a whole bunch of dependancies manually (ouch) , its installed.

there doesnt seem to be a 1.4.0 version of amarok-engine-arts or gstreamer :( , the xine engine never works on my install, it always says "xine was unable to initialise any audio-drivers"!

doing a urpmi search gives a lot of possible packages and i dont know whuch one solves this problem.

arts engine worked fine in the amarok 1.3. never worried about why xine didnt till now :(
