Ok, first, thanks a lot. mpg123 is now working.
Here is what I did:
downloaded the source rpm
removed the original (thought maybe that would be 'cleaner')
followed your directions above, except that there was no configure, but
reading the install said that you have to do "make (your platform here)".
Linux had a few entries, a few for different archs, and a few for different
sound libs(?). I decided to start with the generic linux option, figuring
that if that didn't work, then I would play around with the other options.
so did: make linux
then: make install
and bingo, it works.
the question remains, however, what happened to it?
oh, and is it safe to delete all the mpg123 source stuff from usr/src/RPM/?
thanks again.
