I had done that actually, and it completely *ignored* it until I killed all amarok processes and removed the mysqle directory (I think that was the name).

Many people have huge collections - and sqlite sucks with huge collections. I misread his post - I though he wanted to know how to disable mysqle (he'd figured that out already), then my train of though went off into other (even wronger) directions with embedded vs non-embedded mysql for amarok. Meanwhile I compared by flags to yours and tried rebuilding mysql with -community -berkdb then rebuilding Amarok. This didn't change anything.
