Amarok1 can only be built as root
I noticed the amarok1 package had an update in the AUR so I attempted to build and install it... however when attempting to build with yaourt as a non-root user I get the following error:
checking for kde-config... /opt/kde/bin/kde-config
configure: error: /opt/kde/bin/kde-config --prefix outputed the non existant prefix '' for kdelibs.
This means it has been moved since you installed it.
This won't work. Please recompile kdelibs for the new prefix.
I know this exact PKGBUILD worked for me just a few weeks earlier. The package proceeds to build fine if I build it as a root.
$ pacman -Qo /opt/kde/bin/kde-config
/opt/kde/bin/kde-config is owned by kdelibs3 3.5.10-5$ /opt/kde/bin/kde-config --prefix
/opt/kde
Any ideas or suggestions on how I could go about fixing this problem would be appreciated.

Try to build it locally instead and see what happens.

Re: Amarok1 can only be built as root
Hello ugkbunb!
The problem exists here too, but i don't bother it.
I don't use yaourt, just makepkg, or aurbuild -s, and it's not problem for me to build as root this kde related packages. But you can see such a packages in extra/core like an example how to do it in fact.

Re: Amarok1 can only be built as root
Building locally only works as root as well... and for some reason although the package builds after installing it amarokapp/amarok is not installed correctly and I can not run it... luckily I found the old package I had built of this a couple of weeks back and it seems to install/work just fine. Guess I will forgoe this update for now.

Re: Amarok1 can only be built as root
This is a fakeroot bug. With pacman-3.3 you will be able to do the building of the package without fakeroot and the use fakeroot for the packaging steps. Until then you need to build as root.
