To install, just use 

 # emerge -av amarok

= Common problems =

== mp3 not playing ==

Nowadays the phonon-backend-xine is deprecated, so you should choose between the gstreamer or the vlc backend. To get the necessary codecs for mp3 playing and a few other rare music formats, use

 # emerge media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta

with the appropriate USE flags or just set USE=mp3 in the /etc/make.conf file which will take care of that globally.

= Debugging =

If you would like to be able to debug Amarok and other packages under Gentoo, please ensure that either &quot;nostrip&quot; or (better) &quot;splitdebug&quot; is in your FEATURES, that &quot;debug&quot; is set for Amarok in package.use and that and Amarok has been rebuilt with these settings in place. For further information, refer to the Gentoo backtrace guide listed below.
