Hi, I run Ubuntu 9.10, which by default has pulseaudio and utilities like pactl, pacmd. I downloaded pulseaudio source tarball http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/pulseaudio/pulseaudio-0.9.22.tar.gz and extracted it, ran configure script, compiled it and tried to run the locally built pactl utility. While running pactl(the one which I built), it gave me "Connection failure: Connection refused" Error. But the default 'pactl' utility which is already present in /usr/bin/ works fine. $ ./configure --prefix=<tmpdir> $ make $ make install $ cd <tmpdir> $ ./bin/pactl stat Connection failure: Connection refused Can someone tell me, what am I missing? Why is the locally built pactl doesn't work? while the default /usr/bin/pactl works fine. Are these utility programs coupled to 'pulseaudio' along with which it is compiled? Thanks in advance. -- Regards, ssrk -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
