Can't start amarok.
Code:
Amarok could not find any collection plugins. It is possible that Amarok is installed under the wrong prefix, please fix your installation using:
$ cd /path/to/amarok/source-code/
$ su -c "make uninstall"
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` && su -c "make install"
$ kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental
$ amarok
More information can be found in the README file. For further assistance join us at #amarok on irc.freenode.net.

I seached on web and found bug report at bugzilla: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=508824
Seems amarok can't find mysql plugin. There are two solutions: the first is starting it from konsole (it works)
Code:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib64/mysql" amarok


The second one is a patch for ebuild, that I applied and rebuit amarok. But this patch doesn't help. I still can't start amarok due to messed LD_LIBRARY_PATH and have the same error.

It was mentioned at bugzilla that the problem was solved for amarok-2.8.0-r3.ebuild, but I do not want to install ~amd64 package.

Any idea on why the patch doesn't work?

Thanks.

hello, I just had a similar problem.
I solved it by deleting the amarok config files in kde dir .kde4/share/apps/amarok*
I am guessing the config files changed recently and they are messing things up.
I hope this is the same thing
cheers
