Comment 1 Than Ngo 2003-08-14 09:58:47 UTC
for playing sound chromium needs to be linked with libsmpeg, which was removed
in RHL 8/9. In your case, you should download smpeg rpm and rebuild it again. It
should work.

Comment 2 Elton Woo 2003-08-14 15:58:57 UTC
Ok. or maybe Chromium should be _removed_ from the distro. I did not compile 
from source, but it's the package that gets installed with Severn. IMVHO, this 
would just be another headache added to the lack of MP3 and mpeg support 
is the Red Hat distro (I *won't* go into that ...!) <*SIGH*>. 
 
However, that said, Chromium worked with sound in RH 9 (and mpeg support had 
already been dropped due to the legalese problem. Oh, well...

This works for me with:

chromium-0.9.12-24
SDL-1.2.5-9
