I'm not a big fan of xmms, so I'm trying out a couple other players, namely amarok and juk. I'm running FC3. Neither was installed on my system so I recently installed both. When I try to start juk from a command line I get the following error:
juk: error while loading shared libraries: libid3-3.8.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I had to install libid3-3.8.so.2 as a dependancy for juk, so it is installed:
Has anyone seen this error before? Also, when I try to play any songs in Amarok, nothing happens. If I double click a song in the left pane, it says "some URLs could not be loaded" at the bottom. I do have working sound and can play my mp3s with xmms fine. Also, my mp3s are on a mounted share on a W2K3 server. Thanks in advance.
