[Banshee-List] Cannot start Banshee 1.4.1 Error

[Juergen <jforum gmx com>]

Hi List

I started using banshee because of it's excellent iPod support.

But now, since a few days, it's not working anymore.

If I try to start banshee from the console I get the following error message

> juergen linux-4qg7:~> banshee-1
>

I'm using :

I OpenSuse 11.0

> uname -a -> Linux linux-4qg7 2.6.25.18-0.2-default #1 SMP 2008-10-21 16:30:26 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Installed version of Banshee is 1.4.1

The last thing I did before banshee didn"t work anymore was that I
install some programs to play flash files from my local HD.
This progs didn't work for me, banshee didn't work.
I deinstalled this new progs but banshee didn't start working.

I don't know if installing this programs has anything to do with my
problem. But, it's the last thing I did before I recognized that banshee
is not working anymore.

The program I installed are : gnash and swfdec.
They both are now removed from HD again.

Does anyone have an idea what might be the problem and how to correct it  ?
