Not really, Amarok wants something absurd out of MySQL. There's a huge thread |
| 15 |
on bugs.gentoo.org |

that describes the problem in detail. I suppose you *could* build mysql with |
| 20 |
USE="embedded -minimal" to satisfy Amarok and then hand build a local copy of |
| 21 |
mysql-4.1.x in /usr/local for the existing usage. But this is not something |
| 22 |
I've tried or heard of someone else trying. There's also some tips about |
| 23 |
following the same process other binary distros use to build a useable Amarok. |
| 24 |
It's complex, and stupid in the extreme (blame the Amarok devs for that) but |
| 25 |
does seem to work for other distros. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
You could also wait a few days for the ebuild maintainer to finish looking |
| 28 |
into mysql-community; or go back to Amarok-1.4; or switch to mpd and dump |
| 29 |
Amarok altogether. |
