[linrad] Mandriva 2006.1-0.3 Free

["sm5bsz.com; leif@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

The "standard install" of svgalib-1.9.24 fails because this distribution
does not supply kernel headers by default (just by selecting development).

The option "NO_HELPER = y" (in Makefile.cfg) does not work with 
svgalib-1.9.24, but 1.9.21 installs fine with "NO_HELPER = y"

Rpmdrake allows installation of kernel headers (of course) and
when they are in place svgalib-1.9.24 compiles fine.

In Linrad-01.35 you have to edit the file "svga" to bring it in
agreement with your svgalib version. Then type "make svgalib"
in the Linrad directory. (Linrad-02.xx is more automated)

There are two options: 1.9.21 without svgalib_helper
or 1.9.24 with svgalib_helper. Both work fine on my
computers, but they are much older than 6 months;-)

Linrad works fine with ALSA which comes with Mandriva Free.
The soundcard I want for input is a Lynx Two and I tried to
install OSS to support it. The bad news is that OSS does not
work at all. (oss3994a)

Presumably Opensound (or Mandriva) will fix this, I guess something
is wrong with the kernel headers.

Generally it is a bad idea to use the very latest distribution
because it takes some time for the hardware related groups to
adapt to changes made in the kernel. As long as you are happy with 
ALSA, Mandriva 2006.1-0.3 if fine for svgalib and Linrad.
