Comment 23 for bug 946799

To be honest, I didn't check for the 'schema' complaints when I re-checked 2.1.1, but the instant crashing when adding folders or selecting preferences was still very much the case.

I would recommend trying to compile the source code, which is to be found at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtkpod/files/gtkpod/. Never having successfully compiled anything before, I found the pages whose links I posted on 2012-06-14 very helpful (esp. the first two). Use the Synaptic Package Manager to install the various packages required to get the plugins to work. The versions of libraries etc. ending with '-dev' seem to be required for this purpose. I can't remember exactly which packages I installed (it was late...), but I followed my hunches at each stage - you get quite a lot of feedback at the end of the './configure' process.

If I knew how to create a .deb I would post it here, but my level of expertise is not quite up to that. I'm going to compile the latest stable version now (v2.1.2, 18/6/2012) and see how it goes.
