this has all been fixed in just released version :

http://www.gnome.org/~jamiemcc/tracker/tracker-0.5.1.tar.gz

please build rpm spec file for this version

some notes:

we now use gstreamer-0.10 for metadata extraction of audio/video stuff

we have inlined a statically linked sqlite version in the source which 
is built by default. To override this, compile with 
--enable-external-sqlite but make sure the sqlite version is threadsafe!


Could you send me a final spec file once you are done so I can add to 
tracker cvs.

if you have any problems then let me know.

thanks very much for building this
