Yeah, "incorrect" referred to the configure output. >> The outputs from configure checks are notoriously unreliable.

(presumably the taglib-extras1 corresponding to the amarok2 flavor you're building: -mac or -x11) and if I comment that out, "qmake > is not found" ... qmake is installed in a nonstandard (out of the PATH) location in qt4: $ dlocate qmake | grep bin qt3: /sw32/lib/qt3/bin/qmake qt3: /sw32/bin/qmake qt4-mac: /sw32/lib/qt4-mac/bin/qmake qt4-x11: /sw32/lib/qt4-x11/bin/qmake > I really don't want to be putting myself and you (plural) through all this. > I understand that compiling for fink is not for the faint of heart, and > amateurs like me can get tied up in knots.
