Thanks Jarek. Amarok uses Qt rather than GTK, though, so the cause to any quirks you may notice probably lies elsewhere. Anyway, I finally got around to building the thing from source (latest stable release 1.4.8 from amarok.kde.org). I'll report what I did, just in case anyone wants to do the same. 1) Stuff to be installed with yum (list might not be exhaustive, depending on system config): - qt-devel - arts-devel - kdemultimedia-devel - taglib - taglib-devel - ruby - ruby-devel - xine-lib - xine-lib-devel 2) Download source tarball, untar and cd to resulting dir. 3) I configured as follows: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-gnu-ld \ --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/qt-3.3 --with-extra-includes=/usr/lib/qt-3.3 I like the stuff I build from source to go into '/usr/local'. KDE needs to know about this, i.e. the KDEDIRS environment variable must be set (at least) to '/usr/local:/usr' when KDE starts. If you don't want to bother with this, install into /usr (by omitting /local from the above command line). 4) If all goes well, 'make' and 'sudo make install'. Regards, Andrea
