I'll attach the startup messages since it'd make the comment too long. Also, this dialog box pops up and vanishes when the program eventually dies (after 10s or so): http://eric.schwarzvogel.de/~klausman/amarok_error.png A backtrace can be found here: http://eric.schwarzvogel.de/~klausman/amarok_bt.txt Portage 2.1.1_pre2-r2 (default-linux/amd64/2005.1, gcc-4.1.1/amd64-vanilla, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.17.1 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.17.1 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3700+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.1 distcc 2.18.3 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: 0.4.2-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 2.0.0_rc1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.16 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon64 -pipe " CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/eselect/compiler /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon64 -pipe " DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig confcache distlocks parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict userfetch userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirrors.sec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/gentoo/ http://gentoo.mirror.solnet.ch http://pandemonium.tiscali.de/pub/gentoo/" LC_ALL="en_US.utf8" MAKEOPTS="-j1" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync5.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X a52 alsa apache2 audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 calendar cdparanoia cdr cli crypt cups dio dlloader dri dts dvb dvd dvdr dvdread emboss encode ethereal exif ffmpeg fftw firefox foomaticdb fortran ftp gif glitz gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imlib imlib2 isdnlog jpeg kdeenablefinal ladcca lcms lua lzw lzw-tiff matroska mmap mng moznocompose moznoirc moznomail mozsvg mp3 mpeg mysqli ncurses nls nptl nptlonly offensive ogg opengl pam pcre pdflib perl png ppds pppd python qt3 qt4 quicktime readline recode reflection sdl session sharedmem sockets sox spell spl ssl svg szip tcpd tetex theora tiff truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb v4l v4l2 vcd vim vim-pager vlm vorbis wmf xorg xosd xpm xv xvid zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse input_devices_wacom kernel_linux userland_GNU video_cards_vesa video_cards_nvidia" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Created attachment 90785 [details] startup messages for amarok
Things I've already tried: - rebuilding amarok - rebuilding kdelibs - rebuilding xine-lib
Oh, and backdating to 1.4.0a yields an amarok that catches a SIGSEGV after this: $ amarokapp amarok: BEGIN: App::App() KCrash: Application 'amarokapp' crashing... Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory KCrash cannot reach kdeinit, launching directly. $
Downgrade was never supported. The error is usually due to stale .la files in /usr/kde if you updated straight from 1.3, or if you ever installed Amarok by hand. Finally, please provide out put of ldd `which amarokapp`

And if so, how do I best get rid of them?
I think I got it. I removed kdelibs, kwin and kde-env (the only obvious *base* KDE packages), then I moved /usr/kde/ out of the way, merged the three packages again. On a hinch I also move ~/.kde out of the way (I tried that before, but not the /usr part). Voil
I think I got it. I removed kdelibs, kwin and kde-env (the only obvious *base* KDE packages), then I moved /usr/kde/ out of the way, merged the three packages again. On a hinch I also move ~/.kde out of the way (I tried that before, but not the /usr part). Voilá, it worked. I even was able to move my old ~/.kde back and it still works. Bottom line: something in /usr/kde got amarok and/or one of its kde-core-libs really out of its mind. I still have that /usr/kde in case anybody wants to dig around in it.
This afternoon, it bit me back. After a *thorough* system diagnosis, the root problem surfaced: my /usr fs was badly damaged. I'm reinstalling now (I don't trust a single binary on my system). Closing as invalid.
