problems running amarok in mdk

I have mdk10.0 official, which does not comes with amarok. I downloaded and installed gstreamer 8 and amarok from an official mdk10.1 mirror. They all installed ok. amarok run ok and it detected gstreamer ok. It scanned my 14Gb+ of music into its collection. The problem is when I try to add something to the playlist from the collection, it gives me this "Some URLs could not be loaded" in the status bar for a few seconds, the playlist stays empty, and I finally get nothing played, no music, no sound at all.

What could this be? Any help please.

PS. Amarok also crashes silently when trying to change to other engines (aRts or xine).

It might have something to do with the fact that those are 10.1 packages you installed. Mandrake tends to be rather picky about that.

I had a same problems, so i just compiled amaroK and all it's dependencies from source. No problems anymore.

What does 'all its dependencies' mean ?? does that include gstreamer 8 ?? (I suppose so) What else is included ?? How many packages need to be compiled ??

If this is what it gets to have it right, could you lead me to where all these source packages can be obtained ??

Thanks anyway. In any case, I will be searching for this my self starting just know. Only a little push in the right direction would be nice.

I downloaded everything needed (source packages): Gstreamer, TagLib, Amarok itself, all latest versions. I already compiled TagLib succesfully (although I haven't made a make install yet).

After TagLib I tried compiling Gstreamer, but ./configure gives me this error:

Code:

configure: error: popt 1.6.3 or newer is required to build gstreamer. You can

                download the latest version from

                ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/dist/

I typed 'urpmi popt' and I got the message 'Everything already installed'
I typed 'rpm -qa | grep popt' and I got

Code:

popt-1.8.2-7mdk

How is that I have popt 1.8.2 and gstreamer's ./configure asks for 1.6.3 or newer? Am I missing something?

I think I know my mistake already. I should have installed popt-devel. I tried now ./configure just after installing it and it worked. I am now executing make

I compiled and installed gstreamer with no problems. Then I tried compiling gst-plugins and I got the following error during make (./configure had no errors)

Does anybody knows what it means ?

I quit trying to compile gst-plugins, and therefore, amarok. I am turning back to juk and xmms, which are also great pieces of software.

Anyway, if someone still has some idea, please let me know.
Thanks
