Hi Jesse, thanks for replying (BTW, why am I not getting list mail today? I can post and obviously it got through) As I wrote I had already tried strace and gotten nowhere. I searched the nullsoft webpage and found a README that they'd forgotten to include in the rpm. The error was very subtle. If the X server wasn't in 24 or 32 bpp, winamp would just silently die, and I was running 16. No error, nothing. I guess I've been spoiled by KDE to expect more from an alpha. in 24 bpp it *seems* to work. Now to see why we should switch from xmms :) regards Anders On Friday 12 October 2001 23.41, Jesse Marlin wrote:

Has anyone managed to get the Winamp alpha 1 for linux to run? When I try, it just dies without showing any errors. I can't see anything useful in strace either. I have read accounts of people who have managed to use it, so I assume it's possible.
One thing you could try is a:
strace <program>
And hopefully it will be core dumping because it assumed something was there that really wasn't. The strace may show what it is trying to open or maybe some other clue. Or if you are lucky and they left the symbols compiled in you could try:
gdb <program> <core file>
If you type where it will show you a backtrace, and this might give you an indication of where/why it dumped. Just a guess, but it is probably something they are assuming in the code, and are not checking for the case that it is not there or could not open it. ( /dev/dsp )
