Hello everyone,
Here is a post I made to the KDE forum. (there are updates below.)
But first I'd like to know if anyone else has this problem. Google doesn't
find anyone else, so it may be something unique to my system.

Hi all. I've just installed amarok on my MacBook OS X 10.6.5 via fink. It
starts fine, plays music from e.g. radio, but it won't scan my collection.
I've run amarok with the debug flag. Here's part of the log that appears on
startup. Note the word "crash" that appears therein.
http://snipt.org/pgSl/
and here's what the log says after I click "rescan collection"
http://snipt.org/pgSh/
Here's the entire log: http://snipt.org/pgSo/
no scanning is done.
I'm using the embedded MySQL server. I could try an external database, but
if there's a simpler fix I'd prefer it.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Since I posted, I've run across a few things related to fink:
1.) evidently mysql 5.1 is needed to use the embedded db that amarok uses.
Shouldn't that be a dependency for fink's amarok? (fink has mysql 5.0)
2.) I tried to build amarok 2.3.2 from source; it reported that taglib does
not have asf and mp4 support. Any particular reason? There's some history
on this issue, but my understanding is that fink's version of taglib (1.6.3)
should have asf and mp4 support by default.
3.) amarok 2.2.2 is old.
What I really want is a working amarok. If the above issues are standing
in the way, how can I register a vote to have them fixed?
Thanks,
Gary

What happens now with your Lotus Notes apps - do you make another costly
upgrade, or settle for being marooned without product support? Time to move
off Lotus Notes and onto the cloud with Force.com, apps are easier to build,
use, and manage than apps on traditional platforms. Sign up for the Lotus
