I compiled flac today and at first I didn't succeed very well. The binary was built and all, but each time I tried encode a wav-file, the only result was:

I pondered the fact that configure did warn me that I didn't have ogg, id3 or xmms installed (which is only partly true, I didn't have the devel-RPM:s installed), and wondered if this might be the cause. Therefore in the good old tradition of trial and error, I tried with installing libogg-devel and voilá! No more segfaulting flac! May I suggest that configure treats the lack of ogg a bit more serious than just writing a warning? ;> Oh, since I'm already reporting, another thing I had a problem with is that the build fscks up if you have support for xmms and you aren't building the binaries as root. I prefer to not build all the software as root and thus usually use the PREFIX-argument. When I ran make install, it bugged out because it couldn't write to /usr/lib/xmms/Input/ (Natürlich!). Now, thankfully I have the root-password to this machine (since it's my workstation at home), but if I hadn't had it (like at work), it would've been much harder to build the xmms-module. And so, another thing. Is there any flac123 (like ogg123's mpg123-lookalike) or are anyone working on one? Finally, encouragement (mandatory): GOOD WORK! I haven't toyed with it much yet, but so far I really like what I've seen! It will definitely be useful to compress my liverecordings. :> -- Martin Persson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://martin.kfib.org/ http://ss.kfib.org/ "esound is junk.
