Bug 133643 – amaroK could not find any sound-engine plugins... installed under the wrong prefix

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Bo Ørsted Andresen (RETIRED) 2006-05-17 14:52:06 UTC]

amaroK compiles fine but when I try to run it, it just pops up the following error message. This has been the case for both 1.4.0, 1.4.0-r1 and 1.4.0-r2.

===============================
Error - amaroK
===============================
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.

By the way I have a screen shot at [1]. When I click ok nothing more happens.
