What were you doing when the application crashed?
Just launched it from Applications > Sound & Video > Rhythmbox Music Player.
Could never run Rhythmbox since I installed it on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Thank you for your help.

Comment 1 Jonathan Matthew 2007-06-23 01:03:50 UTC

This crash indicates you've previously used a newer version of rhythmbox and the older version you're running now doesn't support the database version written by the newer version.

If you can't install a newer version, you might have to delete the database file, ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/rhythmdb.xml, and import all your music again.

Comment 2 marcelogiles 2007-06-23 01:27:10 UTC

That's correct Jonathan. I had migrated the ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/ from FC6 to RHEL5). I removed the ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/ dir and now Rhythmbox works just fine. Thank you for your fast and accurate reply... and for this great app!
