amarok 1.3.6 won't compile (KDE 3.4, arts)

dave_deu

I have been using Amarok 1.2.4 for ages without problems. Today I tried to upgrade to the latest stable version, 1.3.6.

The compile failed and so I decided to manually unmerge 1.2.4 then try to re-merge 1.3.6. The compile failed again, and even worse, this time I can't downgrade as portage can't find my 1.2.4 ebuild!!! Any idea what's going wrong?

The error messages when I emerge amarok 1.3.6 under KDE 3.4.1 are as follows:

Here is what I imagine is the most important part:

thats better.

Hmmmm looks like you are using aRts, can you use ALSA and see if the problem is still there?

No, I have to use arts since I don't have hardware mixing and I certainly don't want to bother trying with dmix. amarok worked fine before with arts! Why is it going wrong now?

The Amarok Arts Plugin is not maintained atm (see their website). I installed amarok together with the xine backend. Works like a charm.

can you use gdb to give us a better picture?

Here's what I typed and what output I got. I am completely new to gdb so it probably isn't the best output possible.

Have you upgraded to gcc-3.4.4 already? Maybe there's a mixup.

Yes, in a way you are. But you don't have it properly setup it seems. I assume amarok was compiled with gcc-3.4.4 (I can't tell for sure because you didn't paste the output of gcc-config -l). But it still links to /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.6/libstdc++.so.5 as you can see in the gdb output. It shouldn't. Have you properly followed the gcc upgrade guide? It seems you missed a step or two.

run fix_libtool_files.sh and that should sort them out

it will do, your GCC profile has been upgraded and as long as it is the same path as is in your CHOST then you are fine

Have you tried to compile it with generic CFLAGS?

Something like:

Try LDFLAGS="" emerge amarok
