Hi, After installing from src, I noticed the messages "using path '/usr/local/src/rezound-0.9.0beta/share' for share data directory". I did 'chown' on that. Afterwards, Rezound failed to start the gui but that could be attributable to having existing processes--'killall rezound'. With no existing processes and the chown, it asked which alsa_pcm:playback port I wanted twice and then the gui started. According to the documenation, it should ask twice. When the gui fails, it only asks once. Maybe there's something to my madness. I don't know but I'm happy to see it running. ron --- derek holzer <derek@xxxxxxx> wrote: > My current [Gentoo] Rezound doesn't do this on my > PC, but does on my > PPC.
