[Banshee-List] Banshee crashes after updating compiled version

[mkborregaard <mkborregaard gmail com>]

I am new to Ubuntu, and thus unsure about whether this is the correct forum. I have moved this post from the general Ubuntu forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1852901  . I hope this is according to etiquette.

I was eager to try out Banshee 2.2, but could not find it in the Banshee ppa. So I downloaded the source from the Banshee website, and installed it on my machine using ./configure; make; sudo checkinstall. I had to run each command several times to get all the necessary dependencies (dev-libs) installed. I also try to compile and install the banshee-2.2 community extensions, but the install failed, so I gave up.

I subscribe to the banshee ppa, and when running sudo apt-get dist-upgrade it automatically downloaded and installed banshee 2.2.1. There were several error messages during the install (sorry, I do not know where to find the install log - will post if you can direct me to where it is). Now, banshee crashes upon launch, with the following message:
Code:

Now, the install gives fewer error messages, though still the message: Code: Udpakker banshee-extension-soundmenu (fra .../banshee-extension-soundmenu_2.2.0-1ubuntu2~hyper1+natty_i386.deb)...

Reinstalling does not solve the problem, and I cannot run banshee anymore. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks,
