I'm not going to install a tonns of kde*-devel just to compile amarok. It is enough that I've installed kdebase, kdelibs, kdeartwork... I dont need there packages for anything except the amarok. If I was enjoying compiling things myself I would stay on gentoo and never install fc. more than that, from all this fanciness of amarok the only useful feature for me is dynamic playlist. I madman was able to do that amarok would never appear on my box. > It should be noted that amaroK does NOT depend on MySQL.
