Actually, it's not a bug. Red Hat removed mpeg support from the distribution.

(Had the patch failed, rpm would have let you know.) If you are now getting sound, I've no idea why, as it shouldn't work. The real problem is that tuxracer requires the smpeg libraries for sound.

I made no changes at all other than installing the smpeg packages, and the package builds and works fine. Here is the relevant portion of the build log without smpeg installed: checking for sdl-config... /usr/bin/sdl-config checking for SDL - version >= 1.0.1... yes checking for SDL_JoystickOpen... yes checking for Mix_OpenAudio in -lSDL_mixer... no *** SDL_mixer not found. Configuring without audio support. And now, with smpeg installed: checking for sdl-config... /usr/bin/sdl-config checking for SDL - version >= 1.0.1... yes checking for SDL_JoystickOpen... yes checking for Mix_OpenAudio in -lSDL_mixer... yes checking for GL library... yes Hope that helps, - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+j1tCn/07WoAb/SsRApyYAKCw5D9OxrAZiGPPitKsQd9szIlMQQCff6Zy rie6w4cNsIm1x1Db5yXordc= =aWtI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
