Knowing our Amarok packages, Donn is installing it as an unprivileged user and 
is not setting 
"-DDBUS_INTERFACES_INSTALL_DIR=$HOME/somewhere/unimportant" when calling cmake 
so it is still trying to install to /usr/share/dbus-1/interfaces. It's 
explained at http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Compiling which is linked from the 
INSTALL file in the sources.

Donn, the topic of opensuse-factory@ is building the openSUSE distribution.  
We're happy to help you compile your own KDE software at opensuse-
kde@opensuse.org.

There is also a packaged amarok git snapshot in KDE:Unstable:Playground at the 
OBS which is updated every few days, if you prefer the easy route.
