Running Amarok extracted from rpm (FC6 Extras)

[Mostafa Afgani]

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to run amarok extracted from a rpm (extras repo) on a
machine where I don't have root access. I extracted the package and
some of the missing dependencies under /tmp and added /tmp/usr/bin and
/tmp/usr/lib to PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH respectively.

When I run ./amarok, it runs without complaining about any missing
libraries but just before launching it bails with an error that states
that no suitable sound-engines could be found. I know for a fact that
both xine and Gstreamer (with the required libs and plugins) are
installed on this system.

Any idea where the problem could be?

TIA,
