I'm trying to build a Red Hat 7.3 RPM, and the XMMS plugin build is failing, because the FLAC libraries aren't installed yet. I've looked at some of the SRPMS out there. They all patch Makefile.am in the XMMS plugin directory to make things work, but I can't to that on Red Hat 7.3, because it uses automake-1.4p5. (I know it's old, but upgrading it would likely break just about every Red Hat package out there.) Any ideas? Thanks! -- =======================================================================Ian Pilcher pilchman@attbi.com ========================================================================

I believe it boils down to a bug in libtool. There's a lot of info about in this thread: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=738315&forum_id=6312 If you figure out a workaround PLEASE let us know :) Josh __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Instead I made the plugin part of the RPM conditional, so I can build the flac and flac-devel RPMs without the XMMS plugin package, install them, and then rebuild all three packages. It's ugly, but it works. -- =======================================================================Ian Pilcher pilchman@attbi.com ========================================================================
