Hey Group;
Where is it set that DBus has now permission to see or use a new version of Amarok? I do download and compile many programs. Like a git of Amarok. openSuSE is becoming a headache or at least KDE4 / DBus is. I am beginning to see Linux becoming to secure when a user can not work with external software. Based on problems thing will not compile and depends fails. I do realize that QT and others upgrade or change. However, why does DBus and other software need to be concerned with registered software won't work.
I do come from the days when many small programs are better than big ones. And running openSuSE even back to SuSE purchase versions back in the 1900s

You failed to tell us what error you had.

Knowing our Amarok packages, Donn is installing it as an unprivileged user and is not setting "-DDBUS_INTERFACES_INSTALL_DIR=$HOME/somewhere/unimportant" when calling cmake so it is still trying to install to /usr/share/dbus-1/interfaces. It's explained at http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Compiling which is linked from the INSTALL file in the sources.
Donn, the topic of opensuse-factory@ is building the openSUSE distribution. We're happy to help you compile your own KDE software at opensuse- kde@opensuse.org.
There is also a packaged amarok git snapshot in KDE:Unstable:Playground at the OBS which is updated every few days, if you prefer the easy route.
