You have to use the exact same version of libgpod for which Amarok was compiled. If not, the things that you describe (or other weird things and even crashes) will happen. Either downgrade libgpod or get Amarok from the same source as libgpod and hope that it was compiled for libgpod 0.4.0. Thank you for the explanation. I too thought amarok 1.4.4 is broken (Debian Sid here). Maybe amarok should a) display a warning message if it is run with the wrong libgpod version when pluggin in an ipod and b) show the libgpod version it was compiled with in the about section or so. I don't think this bug report is totally invalid. I'd also expect amarok to react with a user understandable error message if it is used with the wrong libgpod version. How shall the user know that it is the wrong version when the distributor compiled it that way? The proposal of Janet in Comment #2 seems reasonable: if some amarok functions depend on a certain version of an external library it should somehow tell it. |
