please help me getting amarok installed...


Hi,
I m trying to install amarok from source on my Fedora 6 linux OS.
But during configuring it gives the error
mcopidl not found even when i ve arts installed...
Please tell me how to provide it the path of the directory where mcopidl is there.[I know where it is]

One thing more...
When i try to build the code after configuring with --without-arts flag.
it does not get build because it says ruby was not found....
Even when i ve installed ruby..
and i wonder why does it not raise the same error during "./configure"...
Thanks.

why are you building it from source?, why don't you just use fedora's package manager?

Sir, I m afraid thats not what i expect as the solution erstwhile i ve tried the rpm but all in vain.
It did nt work.Please tell me the solution how to play with the environment variable of the configure file of the amarak.
I have a whim of the solution but not exactly.I think some environment variables are to be set but dont know which ones.I tried making wild guesses but failed please help me out!!!!!!

Thanks for the reply indeed!!!!

try yum install amarok
yum is fedora's package manager, it finds the dependencies for you

I can't speak for RPM/Fedora, but in general it is an order of magnitude easier and more robust to install via a package management system if there is one, rather than building from source.

The method for building a project from source varies a lot, and requires that you have a set of development tools installed first. There is a lot more to go wrong, and in general I would not advise it for people who are not developers with a familiarity with compiling software or an interest in doing so.

I would recommend you try to solve your problems with Fedora's package management system rather than trying to build from source. You said you had problems - what are they? What did you do? Did you get any error messages? What were they? Can you replicate the problem?

Sir ,
First of all i m not unknown to linux programming and to some extent working of linux also.And as far as tools are concerned gcc , gdb , i ve been using them ..But i m not used to this kind of trouble shooting
and thats why i dont want to escape the problem..and thus hope that you dont make do so..
Please tell me the solution rather.
Now about the exact error messages.....I will tell u .....
when i configured amarok....
The error messages were.::::

till here everything goes well...
checking for KDE... libraries /usr/lib, headers /usr/include/kde
checking if UIC has KDE plugins available... yes
checking for KDE paths... defaults
checking for dcopidl... /usr/bin/dcopidl
checking for dcopidl2cpp... /usr/bin/dcopidl2cpp
checking for mcopidl... not found
here a message comes that check the arts installation try changing some environmental variables ..


BUT I VE ALREADY ARTS INSTALLED [PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO DO THAT WHICH
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE SHOULD I export AND WITH WHAT VALUE ]
.....


Now secondly,
I configured it with "--without-arts" flag...::
Makefiles were generated...with no warning or error.....

I thus compiled it::::
The following messages were generated.....
u really need patience...
but thats how i could tell it to u.....

If you insist on installing from source despite advice to the contrary, be aware that if you have some problem with the installed software it is very un-likely that anyone can help you - pre-packaged versions which other people will be using may include patches or changes and will probably not behave exactly the same as the version you build.

Assuming you accept this and want to proceed, make sure you have installed the development version of the required libraries. Most distros separate libraries into a runtim package and a development package which includes the header files and other stuff which is needed to build software which uses the library.

On debian-based systems, the convention is to have the same name as the runtime package with -dev appended. I think the same thing applies to fedora, but with the -devel suffix.

If you don't know this already, it casts doubt on your claim to know the development process, and again I urge you to stick to the binary packages instead of building from source.
