converted sfs to 4 sfs.
amarok needs libpcreposix.so.3 and i can't find it.

Which puppy are you trying this on? Upup?
Anyway, try to take this deb, use my deb2pet (see signature) to convert it and install:
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/i386/libpcre3/download

Sorry,
trying to use it with puppy-4.3beta1-k2.6.29.6.

Install that lib then report back.

schism,

If it's asking for libs then I think it works...btw how did you convert the sfs? (using sfs converter or by hand in terminal)

I converted it using SFS-Converter-1.3, thank you for the .pet it works well.

Glad you got it working, so that's the only lib it misses in puppy 4.3 ?

hey dejan, i remembered when i saw this thread back on the first page. i installed amarok in 4.2.1 and it runs fine--it not only plays flac and ogg, but it also plays mpc which is a very rare codec--i think it is still being used, but i was trying it out a few years ago and still have some music in that format. great job. many users need a good music manager or else they will use a different os, imho anyway. thanks.

also needed libaudio.so.2 and when I got that It froze. I had to stop due to appointments but when my daughter gets to bed I'll get back on it. I'll repack it with all the libs then.

I put the files asked for in:
-got a error that I couldn't copy and paste so i don't remember exactly. But libsslxxxxx? and another and my whole system froze. Same thing with Upup476.

Haven't used 4.3 much, but I have iso, I'll boot into it when I have time, but I had problems with ff 3.5.x also freezing system on 4.3 so am not sure if it will work.

OK, I just booted in 4.3 beta 2, after getting libpcre3 lib from debian repo I succesfully loaded amarok and also ff 3.5 it seems that new kernel fixed issues with this apps. So amarok definitely works on 4.3 beta 2! yay

Hi dejan555 (and anyone else still monitoring this thread)! Using the new 4.3 final, installed the amarok sfs, renaming it to "amarok_430.sfs" - i click on itt from the menu, it flashes and disappears. Typing "amarok" in terminal, i get the following output:

Amarok: [Loader] Starting amarokapp...
Amarok: [Loader] Don't run gdb, valgrind, etc. against this binary! Use amarokapp.
amarokapp: error while loading shared libraries: libpcreposix.so.3: cannot open shared object file: NO such file or directory

Any ideas what i am doing wrong?

Also, you said:

I think i can get the lib file but where do i put it?

in /usr/lib, I'll make pet file if you want

Here install this and you should be able to run it, I'll add link to main post too:
libpcre3_7.6-2.1_i386.pet

WOW!!!!!!!! That was fast!! Works great -- she's new to Linux and will love this.

Thanks!

Main post updated with links for sfs4 version, thanks to scabz and dingo for mirrors!

I'm trying to install Amarok in Puppy 4.3.1, full install. I've downlaoded the SFS file without a problem, but when I click on the link to download the PET file, it takes me to a screen full of code. If I try to go up one level to see if I can download the file, it tells me I don't have rights to access that server. So far I haven't been able to get Amarok to work with the lib file. Is there anyplace else I can get the PET file for the lib?

Just try where it says to click to download the pet, instead right click it, choose save as, then save the pet file. Once it is all saved, then click it and it should install...

Nice work.
I always liked Amarok.
Performing well on my 4.3.1 puppy.

Thanks for the tip. I saved the PET, installed it and Amarok is up and running.
