k3b on Slack 9.0, libasound.so.2

german · 09-15-2003, 06:40 AM

Has anybody made k3b work in slack? I get an error that it canot find libasound.so.2, which makes sense, cuz I don't have libasound installed. However, I have a hard time believing that you cannot compile or install k3b without it. I use gtoaster right now, but k3b seems much nicer and I'd like to give it a try. Any help appreciated.

TIA

Strange, now it works... I guess something changed since the last time I tried.

Anyway thanks for letting me know it was worth trying again

I am having a very similar problem. My error message is:

libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/lib/libasound.la'

The silly thing is:

bash-2.05b# ls /usr/lib | grep -i libasound
libasound.so.2
libasound.so.2.0.0

Any ideas? It took over an hour and a half to throw out the error. That doesn't leave much time to keep trying things out.

I am pleased to say that I have now successfully compiled and installed k3b. All it needed was an install of the alsa-lib package. This is not on the list of essential dependancies so I can only assume that it becomes essential if one has some of the other non-essentials installed - if you see what I mean.
