Someone should snag this, and hide it and keep it in such far reaches that it will never disappear...

You are being mysterious again As you have learned in School you must always elaborate the reason for those dynamic statements.
Are you unhappy with the development of Amarok?

Do not know about dedanna but I was really unhappy about it. But to tell the truth I have no idea what is new in its development lately because I simply forgot about its existence past 1.4.10. version.

One of the first thing that I do after a new distro install is to install the old faithful 1.4.10.
Last time I checked the new version was like one of those extremely irritating crap loaded new phones that you have to struggle with in order to make a simple call.

Bingo. What he said. ^^

I'm gathering all the dependencies to install it. A bit challenging, but very, very worth it.
I'm also doing it with the --noclean option, so I will always have them.

I posted that just for the reason I stated, so it would never disappear. If it disappears from the link there, at least I have it and at some point can host it. I'm quite glad they posted that there. Amarok2 sucks bigger than Dick Cheney on GWB.

Well, all went well, until I ran into a snag. I'm having a heckuva time compiling Amarok 1.4.10 on CentOS 6.2. Keep getting "can't find header files for ruby" error, but they're installed with ruby-devel:


Errors go as follows:


I'm not really up for going the rvm route - I can't figure the thing out. I don't know where it's thinking that ruby headers aren't installed, since ruby-devel>1.8 is installed. If/when I can get this resolved, I'm sure it will fly.

I can only bow to the expertise of our Sound and Gaming berserks (mainly 'cause I have no clue what you are talking about). I use Clementine that seems to work...

There's no Clementine for Cent0S 6.2, and it won't compile, either. I'm having even more issues compiling it than I'm having with Amarok 1.4.10.

I'm not as fond, either, of Clementine as I once was. It's become resource hoggy, and a pain in the arse in a lot of ways. It was to where it wouldn't even run on Mint, it was such a resource hog, bogging things (not to mention itself) down.

I have a feeling I'd have to go through rvm to get Ruby going for Amarok, and that I'm not in the mood to sort out how to use.

So, for now, I've kind of gone back to my XMMS roots - always did love it, but it's not even in the repos, so I did the next best thing...
