Usually you can check the config.log to see the exact error. Typically this is an ldconfig issue, but could be something else. Did you build openal with the same version of the compiler as you have installed now?

Hi,

I'm doing a fresh FG-0.9.10 build on a new machine with Linux Debian (sarge) and 2.6.15..

Building Simgear complains about the openal libraries:

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
checking for library containing glutGetModifiers... -lglut
checking for library containing alGenBuffers... no
checking for library containing alutInit... no

You *must* have the openal library installed on your system to build
SimGear!

Please see README.OpenAL for more details.

Checking the /usr/local/lib the files are there. Tried adding the files to /usr/lib and updating ld.so.conf and running ldconfig

But the results were the same. Any suggestions where to look? Missing config argument?

Using openal-9.9, think I have the latest version. Have not tried a new download from the openal website. Don't think that is the problem.
