-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I just stumbled upon this post when browsing through the old Freevo-users digest, and would like to comment. I'm the Fedora RPM packager for Freevo.

The issues arise with the kaa-* libraries that have *.so files, where they're placed in /usr/lib64/python* instead of /usr/lib/python*; whereas the freevo package and libraries without any *.so files are placed in /usr/lib/python*. To force them to all install into a single directory (/usr/lib64/python*) need modified SPEC files that I've not released (and were used to build a single kaa-* package instead of the current separated packages). In addition, there is some problem with the mixer IOCTL in x86_64 which causes a traceback dump on my setup. I'd recommend sticking with a 32-bit distribution for these reasons.
