Maybe the build script for Alsa Libs does not properly install for 64-bit systems? (alsa-lib-1.0.20.tar.bz2)

Built alsa-lib and did make install; built alsa-driver and did make install; tried to build alsa-utils and found Compile errors when building on a 64-bit platform in Fedora Core 9. Notice the old date on /lib64/libasound.so.2.0.0: [root@localhost alsa]# ls -l /lib64/libasound* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2009-06-12 14:29 /lib64/libasound.so.2 -> libasound.so.2.0.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 920640 2008-04-04 01:26 /lib64/libasound.so.2.0.0 [root@localhost alsa]# ls -l /usr/lib/libasound* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 813 2009-06-12 17:02 /usr/lib/libasound.la lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2009-06-12 17:02 /usr/lib/libasound.so -> libasound.so.2.0.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2009-06-12 17:02 /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 -> libasound.so.2.0.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3544926 2009-06-12 17:02 /usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0

Here is the system this is built on: [root@localhost alsa-utils-1.0.20]# uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu May 1 06:06:21 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Here is the error when compiling utils: --------------------------------------- make[1]: Entering directory `/root/Desktop/alsa/alsa-utils-1.0.20/aplay' if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../include -I../include -g -O2 -MT aplay.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/aplay.Tpo" -c -o aplay.o aplay.c; \ then mv -f ".deps/aplay.Tpo" ".deps/aplay.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/aplay.Tpo"; exit 1; fi gcc -g -O2 -o aplay aplay.o -lrt -lasound -lm -ldl -lpthread aplay.o: In function `set_params': /root/Desktop/alsa/alsa-utils-1.0.20/aplay/aplay.c:1038: undefined reference to `snd_pcm_hw_params_is_monotonic' aplay.o: In function `do_test_position': /root/Desktop/alsa/alsa-utils-1.0.20/aplay/aplay.c:1455: undefined reference to `snd_pcm_avail_delay' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [aplay] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/Desktop/alsa/alsa-utils-1.0.20/aplay' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 [root@localhost alsa-utils-1.0.20]#

So then link the /lib64 libraries to the /usr/lib equivalents and cross fingers: [root@localhost lib64]# ls -l libasound* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 2009-06-13 01:25 libasound.2.0.0 -> /usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 2009-06-13 01:26 libasound.so.2 -> /usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 923208 2008-04-04 01:26 libasound.so.2.0.0-original

Then compile utils again. No compile errors. So the compile gave no errors when the "old" /lib64/libasound.so.2 was not used, and the /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 was used instead.

Does this mean that the build script for alsa-lib-1.0.20 did not put in the correct library? Or what?

Thanks for thoughtful responses. Bill
