Robin,

I'm not debating whether or not the fix has made it into sqeezecenter,
be it 7.0.1, 7.1.0 or whatever.

The fix has not made it into the FreeBSD port.  The FreeBSD port is
installing an older version of squeezecenter.

I don't mean this as a baiting question even though it may sound like
it, but do you use FreeBSD?

"Ports" in FreeBSD has a very specific meaning.  It is a special
makefile and directory that allows you to easily build and install an
application from source including all the dependencies.  There is a
"ports" tree that includes all of the applications that are not part of
the base OS.  You can install a package, which is similar to a linux
rpm, or you can install from ports, which means you build it from
source.  But when you build from ports, all you have to do is change to
the directory where the port is, like /usr/ports/audio/squeezecenter,
then do a make and a make install and everything will be taken care of,
just as if you were installing an rpm, except that you're building from
source.  It makes building from source very easy.

The FreeBSD squeezecenter port is not pulling in the most recent
version of squeezecenter and/or is including the wrong version of the
json library.  This needs to be resolved in the FreeBSD port.  You
could manually build and install the latest version of squeezecenter,
but that is much more complicated, and you then WOULD NOT be using the
port.

That is exactly where thevoiceofalan started at the beginning of this
thread, trying to install squeezecenter without using the port.  He was
having a lot of problems, so I recommended he use the port, which
greatly simplifies the build and install process.
