Hello, I am running SuSE linux, with kde 3.3.2. I have been trying to run adacity without any success. When I start the program from the command line I get the following message;
PaHost_OpenStream: could not open /dev/dsp for O_RDWR
PaHost_OpenStream: ERROR - result = -10000
PaHost_OpenStream: could not open /dev/dsp for O_RDONLY
PaHost_OpenStream: ERROR - result = -10000
audacity: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2-2.4.so.0: undefined symbol: _gtk_accel_group_attach

Any help would be appreciated as I am a complete noob

First, check that you are a member of the 'audio' group. It sounds like a permission problem. If that doesn't help, try running the console program 'alsaconf' as root.

The second problem with 'libwx_gtk2-2.4.so.0' sounds like you need to install a missing library package. If I remember right, the wx_ libraries are used to write platform independant programs. If this link is present, you could try running the program /sbin/ldconfig as root.
