Geoff or anyone: I hope you can suggest a solution to my problem compiling the new release of oggvorbis 1.0. I compiled and installed libao and libogg without error, but when compiling libvorbis I get the following compilation error messages: ../lib/.libs/libvorbis.a(mapping0.o): In function `mapping0_forward': mapping0.o(.text+0xe9c): undefined reference to `oggpack_writealign' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [decoder_example] Error 1 make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 My system is a Slackware 8.0 distro with kernel 2.4.18. I wonder if there are any other dependencies I have overlooked? Thanks for any suggestions - Chuck -- The Moon is Waxing Gibbous (84% of Full) So visit me at http://www.valstar.net/~hallenbeck
