Bug 23465 – timidity ignores -arts use-flag

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description bdonlan 2003-06-25 09:27:18 UTC]

I have arts installed, but when I type:
USE=-arts emerge timidity++
timidity is compiled with arts support. Since I do not actually run the arts
daemon, timitity fails to start.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install arts
2. USE=-arts emerge timidity++
3. Without running arts, attempt to run timidity

Actual Results:  
aRts init failed: can't connect to aRts soundserver
Couldn't open Arts device


Expected Results:  
Music should have played, via another audio output, such as OSS or ALSA.

This is most likely due to something you have emerged earlier which links to arts, and timidity++ also links to. Try re-emerging any such packages (with "-arts" of course, and "alsa" if that's what your trying to use) and then re-emerge timidity++.

Which packages might those be?

[Comment 3 Douglas Russell (RETIRED) 2003-08-02 10:11:28 UTC]

Ok. Scratch that. I think the problem lies that your path is choosing to execute the timidity provided by kdemultimedia instead of the one emerged with media-sound/timidity++.

which timidity
should tell you which binary is being used.
You want to be using /usr/bin/timidity to use the media-sound/timidity++ package.

media-sound/timidity++ has no arts options so the above is almost certainly the problem.

PATH issue, closing.

That fixes it, thanks.
