Thanks to everyone who offered some help with this! I finally got it figured out! :)
Fernando (at Planet CCRMA) went above and beyond what I would have expected - special thanks to you. ... anyway, he ultimately suggested it was some kind of alsa install/config problem and asked me for alsa RPM package names on my system. Everything looked good, but I decided to pursue this further. Ultimately, I think there was some kind of package conflict that wasn't showing up as an error anywhere! When I originally set up this FC3 system, I was using some various apt/yum repositories... one being ATRPMS. I noticed that a Flac package came from there. I knew CCRMA would have it's own flac package, and so tried to remove it, but libOggFLAC1 had dependancies... knowing I'd install the CCRMA version right away I ignored deps... For anyone in the future who has this problem.. here is my history of commands (as root): # looking for any/all packaged files that might have changed rpm -Va # I noticed a couple alsa/sound related file saying "prelink has changed" # I got suspicious, and checked one rpm -qif /usr/lib/libOggFLAC.so.1.0.2 # turned out the libOggFLAC package came from ATRPMS, so I decided # to remove these, and grab the CCRMA versions to be safe. rpm -e flac SDL_sound dosbox --nodeps apt-get install flac rpm -qif /usr/lib/libOggFLAC.so.1 rpm -e libOggFLAC1 # failed - lots of dependancies rpm -e libOggFLAC1 vorbis-tools alsaplayer flac-devel libOggFLAC1 libFLAC++4 libFLAC6 libOggFLAC++0 grip --nodeps # make sure we fix anything - get up to date stuff apt-get install -f # go ahead and find ALL packages from ATRPMS, to be safe rpm -qa | grep "\.at" # there were MANY, but let's just remove a few alsa/sound ones to start rpm -e libsndfile1 mjpegtools libsndfile lame libasound2 libsndfile-devel --nodeps # try to get needed/required packages again apt-get install -f # this failed for some reason (i forget) rpm -e mplayer kino dvtitler ffmpeg transcode planetccrma-audiovideoapps apt-get install libsndfile apt-get install planetccrma-audiovideoapps NOW... after that little bit, I can run kmidimon, muse, qsynth and everything seems to be working perfectly! I'm sure more packages need to be cleaned up, and maybe some of those didn't NEED to be touched, but hopefully this will be helpful to others who run in to this.... or people trying to help others who have a similar problem. --- CHECK FOR PACKAGE CONFLICTS !!! thanks again, David ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
