I have a iBook G3. In include/bits/endian.h:
/* PowerPC can be little or big endian.  Hopefully gcc will know...  */
Obviously gcc does not know :-) This error does not occure with amarok-1.2.4. (is there helix support at all?)

LITTLE_ENDIAN is defined in helixdefines.h without check if BIG_ENDIAN is defined already, so both are defined on my system.
Adding ifndef BIG_ENDIAN before ifndef LITTLE_ENDIAN solves the copile problem.
But Helix could not be initialized as an outputplugin... don't know if this is a different error or belongs to endianes.
I don't need Helix, though, so this solution is just perfect for me.

Strange that nobody else seems to have this problem...

I looked a little bit deeper into the problem (same failure on my ppc).  There are two faults: 1) the problem with the helix-libs don't understand a bi-endian-machine and 2) amarok's configure script checks for the existance of helix- or real-libs and enable helix-support even when you run it --without-helix.

Best and fastest solution: Fix amarok's configure script.

amarok-1.3.3 is fixed.  You may close this bug.
