I believe splayer is only intended to be a Win32 executable.  Note that it is in
a directory
labelled "experimental".

for linux download,compile and install:

Actually Dan, it was moved to the examples folder. And it builds on Linux,
at least I can build it on my distribution. You have to build and install
portaudio first, of course, which is apparently the step that the poster was
missing.

But I am not sure about the autoconf scripts and if they are detecting the
libraries correctly, sorry. Ralph is the one that edited them, as my
knowledge of autotools is limited at best. I have not built the linux stuff
in the next month or so, but last time I tried it was still working fine. It
surely looks fine to me: when you build and install portaudio it should
produce the following libraries in /usr/local/lib

libportaudio.a
libportaudio.so

It will also install the portaudio.h headers to /usr/local/include.

Mauricio
