Thanks! but no, alas.
With some help from ajacoutot@, I've managed to learn that there is a
problem with the mpd.db database file getting corrupted upon launch.
Here is the output from /etc/rc.d/mpd -d start:
doing _rc_parse_conf
doing _rc_quirks
mpd_flags empty, using default ><
doing _rc_read_runfile
doing rc_check
mpd
doing rc_start
/usr/local/sbin/mpd:/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.57.0:
/usr/local/lib/libestdc++.so.16.0 : WARNING:
symbol(_ZN11__gnu_debug17_S_debug_messagesE) size mismatch, relink your program
db: Database corrupted
doing _rc_write_runfile
(ok)
Anyone else having a similar problem?
