This happened to me also. I gave up and uninstalled it, but one way to find what command you need might be to run `ls /usr/bin | grep amarok`.

I think the binary files are in /opt/kde/bin/

You should always check all the files that belong to a package with pacman -Ql

Yes and

ln -s /opt/kde/bin/amarok /opt/kde/bin/

solved the problem. ^^

Thanks

Oh, snap! This is a great feature, thanks. I'd always wondered if there was a way to do this, guess I should have read the manpage.

That just made a circular link.  If the file is already in /opt/kde/bin, you just linked it to itself.  The actual cause is most likely /opt/kde/bin wasn't in your path, then you logged back out and back in and that updated your path. 

[dethklok ~]$ ls /opt/kde/bin/amarok
/opt/kde/bin/amarok

+1 to above

Apps that install in /opt just need you to logout/login, or source your profile again.

I ment to write

ln -s /opt/kde/bin/amarok /usr/bin/

So still problem solved.. Amarok runs great.
