Code:
amaroK could not find any sound-engine plugins. amaroK is now updating the KDE configuration database. Please wait a couple of minutes, then restart amaroK.
If this does not help, it is likely that amaroK is installed under the wrong prefix, please fix your installation using:
$ cd /path/to/amarok/source-code/
$ su -c "make uninstall"
$ ./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix` && su -c "make install"
$ kbuildsycoca
$ amarok
More information can be found in the README file. For further assistance join us at #amarok on irc.freenode.net.
I'm trying a revdep-rebuild hope it works. any Idea's why it stopped? or suggestion's on how to fix it. It worked earlier. wtf? revdep says I need art's but it won't compile cause I have -arts in /etc/make.conf

my last update

Add gstreamer and alsa to your USE flags in /etc/make.conf

Next emerge gstreamer.
Now emerge amarok.

I have -arts in my USE flags, amarok works fine.
Although I do have arts installed :(

I've used all 3 engines in the past. and alsa's been in my USE flags. this app has worked fine for months. I'm trying to figure out what changed.

maybe it's a bug in amarok 1.3.8 I'm trying downgrading back to 1.3.6. and emerge -e amarok didn't fix it.

yup it's 1.3.8 I'll file a bug report later. I have to go to class. 1.3.8 did work at first however. that's why I dismissed it, at first.

great this has been moved to stable. 1.3.6 works for me but 1.3.8 always has this problem

I don't know how to fix it. I hear doing this works where is the source? and why do I have to do this to a stable build is there a way to wipe out the original install? maybe that would work.

k I got it... maybe not as buggy as I thought appears to have been an idiot user issue. my solution was as follows.
Code:
 chown -R <username>:users kdecache-<username>
as when trying to run kbuildsycoca, it complained about the possibility of bad permission's and I found at least one file in that directory owned by root. the second step was to run
Code:
kbuildsycoca
as my user and it fixed the problem. my guess is I have accidently run some kde app in my terminal which is auto-ed to root. because it is usually used for emerging. or editing configuration files.
