Description of problem: The SDL RPM installs scripts into /etc/profile.d to set the audiodriver to esd if pulseaudio is installed, because it currently does not support pulseaudio directly. There is a bug in both CSH and Bash scripts, however -- if on a multilib system, both 32- and 64-bit versions of the ALSA pulseaudio driver are installed, the Boolean expression does not evaluate properly. On TCSH it fails silently; on Bash it reports: bash: [: /usr/lib64/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so: binary operator expected Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): SDL-1.2.12-5.fc8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. On an x86_64 system, install alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i386 2. Start a new Bash / TCSH shell 3. printenv | grep SDL Actual results: With Bash, error result above. printenv reports nothing Expected results: No error; printenv reports SDL_AUDIODRIVER=esd Additional info: Patch attached.
Created attachment 291509 [details] Changes to pulseaudio hack scripts With this patch, the scripts test for /usr/lib/... and /usr/lib64/... separately and || the result, so that they work when both drivers are installed on a multilib system.
