For RPM based systems, I have a build environment for the drivers, libs, and utils packages at http://members.dsl-only.net/~tdavis/my-build.tar.bz2. You need to be root to build them, but they won't interfere with your rpm distribution. THe driver rpm will also make a backup of your current drivers prior to installation.

Hi Tobin,
I unpacked the archive and typed make. It created 4 RPMs. Two of them installed, alsa-lib and alsa-lib-devel. When I run a test on the drivers rpm, there are conflicts with the kernel headers already on the box. And I have no sound now, except in the audio configuration screen which is using the 14.rc3 packages. The packages are named with rh7 instead of fc7 as well.
Do I have to run make install to get everything working, or is the header incompatability in the drivers a show stopper?
Thanks. _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@alsa-project.org http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
I'll have to look at the rpm build process to see why they are named RH7 instead of FC7. To install, you should just type "audio_install".
If there is a conflict, just type "rpm -Uvh <package> --force".
Thanks Tobin. I was going to upgrade to the latest kernel to see if the header conflicts would go away. All of the conflicts seem to be alsa related (surprise, surprise) so should have only positive effect on compiles. I was concerned about a package update for alsa and what these different files would do. Should I remove the alsa 14.rc3 packages?
Yes. I just looked at the audio_install script again, and it doesn't upgrade, just forces it's way in (not my script). I also haven't had a chance to work with Fedora Core in a while.
When I get back home on Monday (I'm monitoring email while on a sudo vacation), I'll install it in a VM on my desktop system and fix the packaging system to recognize that distro.
