amarok on gnome?

trumpetdork · 04-17-2005, 12:47 AM

Is it possible to run the amarok media player on Gnome? I really like Gnome over KDE but I like amarok for a media player. Alternative suggestions for a Gnome-compatable media player are welcome -- the mandatory requirement is that it plays MP3 files without a problem and has a good library feature (with search capabilities) a la iTunes.

YaST says they're installed. When I search for amarok files in Gnome and come across the executable binary's, I get the message "No vewer capable of displaying the document" These files are located in /opt/kde3/bin -- are these the executable files? I'm not really sure (Windows guy). If KDElibs is installed but it still won't run, then what?

go to

/opt/kde3/bin
if the binaries/execuatbles are there

run that

./programname

to start then from the shell prompt without going to that /opt/kde/bin directory

include /opt/kde/bin in the path as well
lookout for

/etc/ld.so.conf
