Hi, I just tried to install alsa-tools several times on my powerbook, but it fails to compile. Here is the output: checking for a BSD compatible install... /bin/install -c checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E checking for ANSI C header files... yes checking for ALSA CFLAGS... checking for ALSA LDFLAGS... -lasound -lm -ldl -lpthread checking for libasound headers version >= 0.9.0... found. checking for snd_ctl_open in -lasound... yes checking for kernel header files... /lib/modules/2.6.1-benh1/build/include checking for directory with ALSA kernel headers... -I/lib/modules/2.6.1-benh1/build/include configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile source='cspctl.c' object='cspctl.o' libtool=no \ depfile='.deps/cspctl.Po' tmpdepfile='.deps/cspctl.TPo' \ depmode=gcc3 /bin/sh ./depcomp \ gcc -DPACKAGE=\"cspctl\" -DVERSION=\"0.2.0\" -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_LIBASOUND=1 -I. -I. -I/usr/include/fltk-1.1 -mcpu=7450 -O3 -pipe -fsigned-char -maltivec -mabi=altivec -mpowerpc-gfxopt -I/lib/modules/2.6.1-benh1/build/include -I/lib/modules/2.6.1-benh1/build/include -c `test -f cspctl.c || echo './'`cspctl.c gcc -mcpu=7450 -O3 -pipe -fsigned-char -maltivec -mabi=altivec -mpowerpc-gfxopt -I/lib/modules/2.6.1-benh1/build/include -I/lib/modules/2.6.1-benh1/build/include -L/usr/lib/fltk-1.1 -lasound -lm -ldl -lpthread -o cspctl cspctl.o -lasound -lm -ldl -lpthread cspctl.o(.text+0x6fe): In function `csp_command': : undefined reference to `__invalid_size_argument_for_IOC' cspctl.o(.text+0x70a): In function `csp_command': : undefined reference to `__invalid_size_argument_for_IOC' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [cspctl] Error 1 !!!

1) What tool was it trying to compile when it failed. Try removing it from ALSA_TOOLS if you don't need it (and ppc guys might want to remove the failing one by default). 2) Can youu try alsa-tools-1.0.4
don`t know what tool fails to compile, so I can`t remove it from the list... but alsa-tools 1.0.4 compiles and works (as I can say in less than 5 minutes testing ;-) I also upgraded to alsa-lib, alsa-oss and alsa-utils to version 1.0.4. Seems to be stable, but I`ll post in a few days if it is realy stable. Markus
Just want to let you know: 1.0.4 works perfect! Markus
see the comments... 1.0.4 and above is required for 2.6 kernels.
whick comments? Markus
the einfo comments that get printed when you emerge the package: einfo "Version 1.0.3 and above should work with version 2.6 kernels." Also, the alsa howto mentions this as well.
