Alsaplayer.sf.net shows a released version of 0.99.81. Len, from what you said, I assume this means I need to download the source and any dependencies and build it locally. I cloned the github repo and am rtfm for the source. Before building, I removed the old alsaplayer. root@miniG4:~# apt-get remove alsaplayer-alsa alsaplayer-common alsaplayer-text So I took a shot at building alsaplayer. That endeavor seems to be fraught with peril. The INSTALL and README files are pretty sketchy. After running the bootstrap script and then configure, I get the following. Aside from the syntax error which is obviously a show-stopper, should I be worried about the other not found scripts or programs? root@miniG4:~/alsaplayer# ./configure checking build system type... powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu checking host system type... powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu checking target system type... powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... no checking for mawk... mawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking for suffix of executables... checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed checking for style of include used by make... none checking dependency style of gcc... none checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E checking for g++... no checking for c++... no checking for gpp... no checking for aCC... no checking for CC... no checking for cxx... no checking for cc++... no checking for cl.exe... no checking for FCC... no checking for KCC... no checking for RCC... no checking for xlC_r... no checking for xlC... no checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... no checking whether g++ accepts -g... no checking dependency style of g++... none checking for grep that handles long lines and -e... /bin/grep checking for egrep... /bin/grep -E checking for ANSI C header files... yes checking for sys/types.h... yes checking for sys/stat.h... yes checking for stdlib.h... yes checking for string.h... yes checking for memory.h... yes checking for strings.h... yes checking for inttypes.h... yes checking for stdint.h... yes checking for unistd.h... yes checking minix/config.h usability... no checking minix/config.h presence... no checking for minix/config.h... no checking whether it is safe to define __EXTENSIONS__... yes checking whether NLS is requested... yes checking for msgfmt... no checking for gmsgfmt... : checking for xgettext... no checking for msgmerge... no checking for ld used by GCC... /usr/bin/ld checking if the linker (/usr/bin/ld) is GNU ld... yes checking for shared library run path origin... done ./configure: line 6162: gt_INTL_MACOSX: command not found checking for GNU gettext in libc... yes checking whether to use NLS... yes checking where the gettext function comes from... libc checking whether ln -s works... yes checking for a sed that does not truncate output... /bin/sed checking for fgrep... /bin/grep -F checking for ld used by gcc... /usr/bin/ld checking if the linker (/usr/bin/ld) is GNU ld... yes checking for BSD- or MS-compatible name lister (nm)... /usr/bin/nm -B checking the name lister (/usr/bin/nm -B) interface...
