Description Andreas Müller 2007-08-08 09:52:07 UTC
Description of problem:
Due to a bug (typo) in the configure script of alsa-lib, the plugin directory is
set to "plugindir" (instead of "/usr/lib/alsa-lib") during the build.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.0.14-1.fc7

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install alsa-lib-1.0.14-1.fc7.
2. Try to use a plugin, e.g. the pulseaudio plugin.

Actual results:
The plugin cannot be used because it won't be found in the non-exististing
directory named "plugindir".

Expected results:
Working plugins.

Additional info:
Upstream released version 1.0.14a to fix this.
Changelog: http://www.alsa-project.org/changes/v1-0-14--v1-0-14a.txt
Upstream bug report: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=3148

Please upgrade to 1.0.14a or use the patch from the upstream bug.

Comment 2 Martin Stransky 2007-08-16 10:57:00 UTC
Fixed in alsa-lib-1.0.14-2.fc8, thanks.

Comment 3 Andreas Müller 2007-08-16 11:59:23 UTC
Is there any chance to get this released as an update for F7?

Comment 4 Martin Stransky 2007-08-16 12:31:06 UTC
it's here - alsa-lib-1.0.14-2.fc7

Comment 5 Andreas Müller 2007-08-16 12:52:34 UTC
Installed it from koji, but it doesn't work as expected, unlike my local build
which was based on 1.0.14a. I did a bit of research and noticed that the patch
only fixes configure.in, which of course won't be used during a normal build
process, so that's (partly) my fault. Sorry for the trouble, hoping to get this
fixed before the next version of alsa-lib is released...

I'll attach a new patch based on the actual diff between the configure files of
version 1.0.14 and 1.0.14a.

New patch, this time for configure.

Comment 7 Martin Stransky 2007-08-16 12:55:30 UTC
Don't mind, I'll update to 1.0.14a.

Comment 8 Andreas Müller 2007-08-16 15:42:21 UTC
I installed the new rpm from koji, now it is working, thanks. Closing bug again
as builds for F7 and F8 were successful within koji.

Comment 9 Fedora Update System 2007-08-17 16:14:49 UTC
alsa-lib-1.0.14-2.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

alsa-lib 1.0.14->1.0.14a

Comment 11 Giandomenico De Tullio 2007-08-18 15:36:24 UTC
Problem persist.

# rpm -q alsa-lib
alsa-lib-1.0.14-2.fc7

Please, when patch configure.in  update configure script too.

previous patch is ~2KiB long  :) not much, i think.


Comment 12 Martin Stransky 2007-08-19 07:18:35 UTC
it's fixed in alsa-lib-1.0.14-3.fc7 (update to 1.0.14a)
