[Solved] mpd 0.17 missing libavcodec.so.53 and libavformat.so.53

Hi,

Today i solved my mpd issue, and i thought to share it here.
The problem:
My mpd wouldnt start anymore after a Pacman -Syu. It seems that the libs used to compile the mpd version wasnt compatable with the rest of my system.
When i tried starting mpd it gave me a "libav*.so.53 missing"-error. I only have libav*.so.54 available on my system.

I did the following to fix it:

cp /etc/rc.d/mpd /etc/rc.d/mpdbak
pacman -Rs mpd
cp /etc/rc.d/mpdbak /etc/rc.d/mpd
wget [somelink]/mpd-0.17.1.tar.bz2
tar xf mpd-0.17.1.tar.bz2
cd mpd-0.17.1
./configure prefix=/usr/local/ --with-zeroconf=avahi --enable-pulse
make && make install

Now the newly created mpd links to the libs available on the system.
Hopefully this helps someone

Err, the version of mpd from the repos works properly with libav*.so.54 - is your mirror outdated or broken?

Also, for building packages from source, you should really consider writing a PKGBUILD - for software from the repos, you can use the same PKGBUILD used to generate the package in the repos!
