As a very many programs have no problems with the Red Hat pre-gcc3 that is 2.96, I would have to say that it is a MusE problem, not a RH one. > Gtk.

To be fair to RH, they are funding a large portion of GCC's development, as well as pouring a large amount of code into gcc3. Oh, RH 7.2 includes a gcc3 set of packages for you to use. > OTOH, (and as you say, to be fair), MusE apparently does now compile > under 2.96 so I'm wondering whether the path of least resistance is to > simply reinstall RH 7.2 on this machine and plan on a Debian install to > a new disk. While some may cringe at the thought, I think you would do well to install the Red Hat Skipjack public beta (7.2.93), or wait until the next RedHat is released (all indications are that that will be soon, as there have now been two public beta announcements). I'm running 7.2.93 here and like it. The 2.4.18 kernel in it appears to have the low latency and preemptible patches, making for a good low-latency platform. > The Book Of Linux Music & Sound at http://www.nostarch.com/lms.htm > The Linux Soundapps Site at http://linux-sound.org Not so incidentally, many thanks for both of these resources. I Bought the Book (TM), and it is good. And I use the linux-soud stuff all the time. While we're at it on that, does anyone know of a radio station on-air automation system in development? There are a couple of commercial ones available (one is On Air Digital -- see http://www.onairusa.com/rshd.htm for how they use Linux), but I'm not hot on commercial software. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11
