I'm trying to compile a package of pulseaudio for thinstation. I've done that and it's apparently successful because there were no errors during compile. I boot up thinstation and try to run pulseaudio and I get this horribly worthless message: "Floating point exception" That's it! All by itself! How can I proceed to solve the problem? Is it in pulseaudio? Is it in one of the other libraries that I had to compile? All compiling was done within the RUNME chroot environment provided by thinstation_src. Any suggestions for how to "port?" pulseaudio to ThinStation? ThinStation right now is esd at best; it'd be great to roll out pulseaudio support. # /bin/pulseaudio Floating point exception # ldd /bin/pulseaudio linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libpulsecore.so.8 => /lib/libpulsecore.so.8 (0xb7ed6000) libltdl.so.3 => /lib/libltdl.so.3 (0xb7ece000) libsamplerate.so.0 => /lib/libsamplerate.so.0 (0xb7d65000) libspeex.so.1 => /lib/libspeex.so.1 (0xb7d52000) libspeexdsp.so.1 => /lib/libspeexdsp.so.1 (0xb7d44000) libsndfile.so.1 => /lib/libsndfile.so.1 (0xb7bb5000) liboil-0.3.so.0 => /lib/liboil-0.3.so.0 (0xb7b57000) libgdbm.so.3 => /lib/libgdbm.so.3 (0xb7b51000) librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0xb7b3e000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7b3a000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xb7b19000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7b08000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7a18000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f44000) # gdb /bin/pulseaudio GNU gdb 6.3 Copyright 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
