Hi Thad,
If you don't want to go through the whole troubleshooting exercise, you
could always try using a precompiled Amarok from one of openSUSE's
repositories:
See here:
http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=amarok&baseproject=openSUSE%3A11.4&lang=en&exclude_debug=true
According to this entry on the wiki:
http://en.opensuse.org/KDE_repositories#Updated_applications_only
You would want this repository:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Unstable:/Playground/openSUSE_11.4/KDE:Unstable:Playground.repo
Just click on this last link, add it to Yast and then upgrade amarok. You
should be good to go.
Peter

I recently upgraded from SuSE 11.3 to 11.4. That went well enough, so I thought \
I'd try building and installing Amarok 2.4.1 beta 1 (<a \

target="_blank">http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/amarok/2011-March/032603.html</a>). \
Most especially, I wanted to apply Daniel Faust's fix for various artists as the \
bug keeps me from using my iPod with Amarok (<a \

target="_blank">http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/amarok/2011-February/032586.html</a>). \
(I also dream that some day podcasts will install to my iPod, but for now gpodder \
handles that chore.)<br>
<br>(BTW, the 2.4.1 beta 1 tarball download amarok-2.4.0.90.tar.bz2. I guess \

a few attempts and pauses to install optional packages and additional devel RPMs, the \
