[Banshee-List] Please Help! I broke Banshee while trying to upgrade to 2.5.1

[rucker222 <rucker222 gmail com>]

Hi guys,

I really hope someone can help!  

I was having a few problems with my install of banshee so out of interest
decided to try upgrading from 2.4 to 2.5.1 and see if somehow that would fix
things for me...

well what ever I have done, I've done a good job of breaking things.  

I downloaded the tarball from the website and attempted to install it.  I
did the './configure' and then 'make' and during these processes was told
that I was missing rather a lot of dependencies so when I had finally got
these and was able to configure and make without any errors (that I could
see), I did 'make install'.  

well, from what I could tell, everything appeared to go smoothly.  Or at
least I thought so until I realised that banshee now did not work at all. 

The problem I have now is that no matter what I try I cant even install 2.4
and get that working (though I would still rather be using 2.5.1).  I've
installed 2.4 from the command line and I've tried installing it from the
Ubuntu software-centre, and cant get it to work. 

I have tried all of the following to remove banshee so the 2.4 install will
work 'sudo apt-get remove banshee', 'apt-get --purge remove banshee', 'sudo
apt-get --purge autoremove banshee'. even after all of this I still have
banshee in my launcher menu and if I type banshee into the terminal, rather
than getting the expected 'banshee: command not found' or something similar,
I get the following.

leecutler@desktop-ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get remove --purge banshee
