It would appear that on May 4, Marvin Stodolsky did say: > Joe, > > Be sure to do a > $ make clean > before: > $ make ALSA_SUPPORT=1 OK I can try that... Since I'm not good at compiling stuff I didn't think of "make clean" but had instead only allowed one "make ALSA_SUPPORT=1" per tarball extraction. That is I used mc's F8 delete to delete the entire "./slmodem-2.9.11-20100303" directory tree then recreated it again via "tar -xzf slmodem-2.9.11-20100303.tar.gz" It hadn't occurred to me that the freshly recreated directory tree might need the "make clean" that I think I vaguely remember may have been in the step by step instructions that time I had to manually install alpine. So next time I'm in my Xubuntu install (at moment I'm running Arch) I'll try it again with the "make clean" > If you re-install the sl-modem-daemon package, > It provides its own ALSA non-competent slmodemd, copied to /usr/sbin/slmodemd. No, I didn't exactly reinstall sl-modem-daemon... I only installed that once. However, when I tried to copy the freshly compiled version of slmodemd to /usr/sbin it was "busy" so I did an "killall slmodemd" to enable the copy. So when I mentioned sl-modem-daemon in the previous message I was only referring to the already installed daemon getting cleanly restarted on reboot. Except of course that it evidently failed. Presumably for the same reason that the manually typed command of "slmodemd -c USA --alsa hw:0,6" failed" "ALSA support is not compiled in (see README for howto)." Which seems strange to me because I thought that was the whole point of "make ALSA_SUPPORT=1". And since once I'd installed libc6-dev-i386 the only error/warning I found in the ALSA_SUPPORT=1 output was: modem_test.c: In function ʽmodem_test_startʼ: modem_test.c:110: warning: ignoring return value of ʽwriteʼ, declared with attribute warn_unused_result I would have thought that any missing alsa stuff would have resulted in a louder gcc protest than that... Still, my lady is home so I'm shutting down.Next time I boot it'll be my Xubuntu install and I'll try the "make clean" suggestion.
