MPD Scribble trouble

I've downloaded MPDScribble via pacman, but when I try to start it i get this error:

steve ~  $  sudo /etc/rc.d/mpdscribble start
:: Starting mpdscribble                                                  [BUSY] /usr/bin/mpdscribble: error while loading shared libraries: libsoup-2.2.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have libsoup installed, although it's the current version (2.4.0-1), is this the problem? When i try to compile from source it has this error, so i assume so:

checking for libsoup... configure: error: libsoup-2.2 not found

I cant install an older libsoup as the newest one is required from Evolution + others, so does anyone know what to do? I'm a bit stuck.

Thanks,

Steve

Re: MPD Scribble trouble

if you essentially need mpdscribbe (which i doubt wink ) downgrade libsoup abd "Evolution + others". Or just wait till mpdscribble is fixed wink

Re: MPD Scribble trouble

mpdscribble seems to be dead (last SVN commit is from december 2006), so I've patched the source codes to work with libsoup-2.4 on my own.
I haven't tested the patch yet, I'll test it tomorrow.

If this works, I think we should consider starting a mpdscribble fork (if the project is really dead).

Re: MPD Scribble trouble

That would be nice , Im using lastfmsubmitd and i get timeout errors all the time like this :
2008-04-15 22:23:52,096 lastfmsubmitd[4229] ERROR: Submission timed out
2008-04-15 22:23:52,096 lastfmsubmitd[4229] INFO: Backing off, will retry in 32:00

Is lastfmsubmitd also outdated?

Re: MPD Scribble trouble

I have since been using Sonata (instead of GMPC) as it has an inbuilt LastFM client, but as you have put the effort into fixing MPDScribble, I am now using that to submit, instead of Sonata, and it works perfectly! Thanks very much!

Would you been the one to do the fork?

Mpdscribble has some issues:

Use the Source, Luke!

Re: MPD Scribble trouble

Yeah, I used to have the 'CLOSE_WAIT' issue, but since libsoup-2.4 it seems that the problem isn't happening anymore (not sure about that).
But there's the 'song on repeat' and the manpage issues, those still have to be fixed.
Also, there are some cool patches that have been posted on the issues page that can be merged into the source tree, like proxy support.

Any ideas for the fork's name? I'm going to create a git repository for it later (probably next week).

Re: MPD Scribble trouble

I've setup a git repository for mpdscribble here:
http://git.luizribeiro.org/

I've updated the manpage and I'm now using libmpd instead of the libmpdclient that was bundled with mpdscribble.
None of these changes are being used on the PKGBUILD yet.
