Strange. What version of glibc-devel do you have installed, and what is the output from
rpm -V glibc-devel
OK, never mind, I just got the source and tried to compile it and I get the same thing.
The problem is that the definition of __le64 is inside an #if !defined (__STRICT_ANSI__) block and the configure test program uses the compile flag -std=iso9899:1990 which defines that macro
This seems like a bug in autoconf I just updated to 3.4.1, and there is still the same problem. I was doing some checking, and I don't think it is an autoconf problem. I'll share my thinking process and hopefully someone will see my error or help to narrow down the choices. I had downloaded the kdemultimedia3 src.rpm and rebuilt it to try to get kscd cdda to work, with no success. I had built it (with a patch for KAudiocreator) on 9.2, which worked. On 9.3, it doesn't. Same src.rpm. I just checked, and it appears autoconf and automake are basically the same version for both 9.2 and 9.3. The file with all the errors, little_endian.h, is part of glibc-devel. That file is quite different in 9.2. IIANM, all the failing parts of little_endian.h are not present in 9.2. I do not know

I also ran a 2.6.11.5 patched kernel.org kernel in 9.2, so kernel versions were very close from my 9.2 and 9.3. I looked at what you wrote above Anders and tried to follow along but I got lost [but I do respect your programming and code reading skills]. I know I could add a cd audio cable, but that doesn't fix the problem, only works around the problem. It is also a bothersome problem for my daughters' laptops I upgraded to 9.3. They cannot add a cd audio cable, so I would like to help get the bug found and fixed. TIA for any help in tracking down the source of this bug. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871
