The current stable amarok ebuild doesn't require dev-db/sqlite to compile, but without it installed it will crash on startup.
Erm, amarok uses bundled sqlite... Reopen with a backtrace and emerge --info. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml
Created attachment 93152 [details, diff] Adds dev-db/sqlite as a RDEPEND This patch file adds dev-db/sqlite as a runtime dependency. The patch file also bumps up the revision number.
Comment on attachment 93152 [details, diff] Adds dev-db/sqlite as a RDEPEND Already told you that amarok uses bundled sqlite, which is recommended by upstream. Reopen w/ info requested in Comment #1.
Sorry I didn't see your comment before posting the attachment. I'll get the backtrace and post it here.

I unmerged sqlite and amarok started without any problems. So the backtrace probably isn't much use to you. I think the problem might be related with upgrading a collection from 1.3.x to 1.4.x. When I tried the 1.4.x ebuilds when there were still in testing it would always crash for me during the collection building process, unless I deleted my existing settings, then it would start up fine. When I first emerged the stable 1.4.0 Amarok it would crash, but I installed sqlite and it started up and rebuilt the collection without any problems. It looks like this problem has been experienced by other people in the forums, but since I can't recreate the problem, feel free to close this ticket. gdb /usr/bin/amarokapp GNU gdb 6.4 Copyright 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
