To get AAC working in 6.3.1 (on Gentoo) I had used the older version of
faad2 from the CVS repo and compiled and installed it.  Modified the
convert.conf file (changes to slimserver-convert.conf or
custom-convert.conf didn't seem to make much difference).  Everything
seemed to go fine.

However, new machine, different OS.  The CVS trick isn't working for
faad2, as now it fails to compile.

Here are the steps I have taken to get it working in the past, that
fail now:

###### Begin Paste #####
1. Build/install faad2 as per:
http://robinbowes.com/article.php/2004080319394853

Here's what I did to build a version of faad2 that can sucessfully play
.m4a files from slimserver on my Linux system (Fedora Core 2):
CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/faac
export CVSROOT
cvs login

(Hit return when prompted for a password)

cvs co -D2004-03-03 -dfaad2-CVS faad2
cd faad2-CVS
autoreconf -vif
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-mp4v2
make
sudo make install

The "make" fails with the following errors:
#### make errors ###############

So, what I really need is for someone to show me what they have done,
step by step, to get it working.  Any takers?

Cheers,
Eamon.
