That file esists. I was looking in /emul/linux/x86/lib. ;-)

If I write:
LD_PRELOAD=${exec_prefix}/lib/libaoss.so.0.0.0${LD_PRELOAD:+:
$LD_PRELOAD} exec "$@"
echo "running with LD_PRELOAD=$LD_PRELOAD"
I get:
[sp ~]$ aoss32 vmware
ERROR: ld.so: object '/emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/libaoss.so.0.0.0' from
LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
(five times)
and the echo statement is not executed.
If I write:
LD_PRELOAD=${exec_prefix}/lib/libaoss.so.0.0.0${LD_PRELOAD:+:
$LD_PRELOAD} echo "running with LD_PRELOAD=$LD_PRELOAD" && exec "$@"
I get:
[sp ~]$ aoss32 vmware
running with LD_PRELOAD=
?
However: no preloading error message, but sound does not work.
BTW: are you sure sure that one can still set LD_PRELOAD to an
*absolute* path?

Always as a normal user. I open a "new root shell" in Konsole when I
wish to be root.

I can hear the sound.

Right. I apologize for my foolishness/laziness. Let me say that I was
a bit tired yesterday evening ;-)

Are you sure that that has not been reverted in glibc 2.4-r3?
