Ok, things are a bit different than what I said before: - The change on my side was to switch to the theora-1.0 API (from of the pre-1.0 lagacy API). Probably I'm the only one, who did that change :) - The Jaunty packages were broken for the new API (missing header file) - The Karmic package adds the missing header from what I see, but your configure detection fails because of this: Requested 'theoradec >= 1.0.0' but version of theora is 1.0final So the Karmic package is broken by adding the "final" to the version, which screws up pkg-config. Since the feature I'm testing for (theoradec) was not there before 1.0.0 maybe a solution is to omit the version check completely. You can go to m4/check_funcs.m4 and change the line: PKG_CHECK_MODULES(THEORADEC, theoradec >= $THEORADEC_REQUIRED, have_theoradec="true", have_theoradec="false") by PKG_CHECK_MODULES(THEORADEC, theoradec, have_theoradec="true", have_theoradec="false") and see if that works (if yes, tell so I can put that upstream). > And, can I install the launchpad debs side by side with the default > karmic deb? No, but they can be savely replaced. Packages depending on libtheora will be happy with the ppa version. I needed at least 1.1.0 to implement theora 2-pass encoding. Also 1.1.0 has much improved encoding quality and decoding speed. Relevant of couse only if you actually need theora support. >>> I type make and get this error: >>> >>> audio_dca.c:33:17: error: dts.h: No such file or directory >>> looking now for where I can find that lib. >> It's libdts aka libdca, and I can remember some problems with the dts.h >> versus dca.h issue.

Ok, I'll try to reproduce and fix this on my Karmic system at home. Renaming libraries is bad, but in the libdts case it was a trademark violation, so it had to be done.
