(dapper) Banshee does not start

[windi]

On the latest Dapper release, Banshee refuses to start, even after deleting the ~/.gnome2/banshee directory.
When launching from the console, the following messages are displayed:

windi@desk:~$ banshee

Did you ever have installed a banshee compiled yourself from source?
In that case please verify that all parts are really gone. (rm -rf /usr/local/lib/banshee /usr/lib/banshee and then reinstall banshee)

Awesome, that did the trick. I totally forgot that I had compiled banshee from source a while back. Deleting /usr/banshee and then reinstalling did the trick.

Cool :) It was just a guess but fortunately correct ;)
