Well, that's a start. I downloaded the rpm and the first thing it complained about was a missing libmad.so(0) (64-bit). So, I did some poking around and found an rpm for FC4 that miraculously worked. I then reran the audacity rpm file and it installed without a problem. So, then I start it up and, after asking for the language, I get this error: There was an error initializing the audio i/o layer. You will not be able to play or record audio. Error: Host error. I went to YaST and checked the soundcard configuration and ran the test on the Volume dialog and it seems to work fine. FWIW, it's a SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Value (SB0400) using the alsa emu10k1 driver. I'm able to playback MP3 files, however, it appears that I can't play a CD using KsCD either. The CD's play, but no audio is heard. So, what exactly is audacity referring to as the "audio i/o layer"? How do I go about fixing this? Is there a connection to the CD playing problem? Frankly, I'm not sure I even know what's wrong to begin looking for a solution. I've gone through the KsCD docs and got to the point of it telling me to switch to direct audio playback in the Settings dialog, but the checkbox it tells me to check doesn't seem to exist. The bottom line is that I'm at a loss as to how to proceed. Thanks in advance for the help. -- Bill Lugg Milstar Software Support Peterson AFB, CO On Monday 12 December 2005 7:51 am, Randall R Schulz wrote:

I was just looking through the SuSE 10.0 CD and noted the conspicuous absence of Audacity. Is there a SuSE rpm out there that I've missed? Does anyone know why it was omitted from the distro?
Packman has it.
Go to <http://www.opensuse.org/YaST_package_repository#Packman> and select a mirror.
I recommend avoiding the U.S. mirror. Two installation attempts there both hung part way through the file transfer phase. Switching to the Austrian mirror allowed a prompt installation.
