45 My stuff is similar to yours and Volker's, didn't work with mysqle.
46
47 Even tried downgrading binutils, which fixed one error and revealed another.

49 I have now made a decision. I was a faithful amarok user for 5 years. In the
50 kde-3.5 days it worked flawlessly and never gave a day's trouble. The switch
51 to KDE-4 has been fraught with problems from day 1 - all the decent features
52 went away, then the devs spent two years fiddling with the gui while the
53 palyer didn't *actually* play music (gee whizz, whodathunkedit? That a user
54 might actually play music on his media player). Then the monumental cock-up
55 with MySQL and -fPIC, the jumping through hoops that caused with every single
56 distro out there, mysql-5.1.* is still not in the tree un-hardmasked, and now
57 this crap.
58
59 Amarok, it was nice knowing you. One day you might build and play music again
60 on all sane systems out there. Meanwhile, I think I want to hear songs play so
61 some other player is going on this machine and you are coming off.
62
63 Bye bye now, and don't bump your head on the door when you leave.
