[alsa-devel] Problems running "amixer"

[Adish Kuvelker]

Hello Clemens,

I have the "alsa" folder with the files alsa.conf. My "amixer" utility
has been copied under "/bin".
I followed a mail thread which said to load "share" folder under
"/usr". But even with this the problem persisted.

I'm just pasting here the contents of my /usr/share
# ls share/
aclocal  alsa     locale
# ls -la share/alsa/
drwxr-xr-x    4 root     root         1024 May 12  2010 .
drwxr-xr-x    5 root     root         1024 May 12  2010 ..
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         7701 May 12  2010 alsa.conf
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root         2048 May 12  2010 cards
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         1024 May 12  2010 pcm
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         3205 May 12  2010 sndo-mixer.alisp




Just to make sure, do I have to install my entire staging area created
through install of alsa-lib and alsa-utils in to the /usr/share?

Regards;
Aadish
