Re: errors in symlinks in alsa-oss rc1 with mandrake 9.0

[Friedrich Ewaldt <friedrich.ewaldt@gmx.de>]

Hi!

Exactly the same problem for me.
./configure fails for alsa-oss-0.9.0rc1 (extracted from 
alsa-oss-0.9.0rc1.tar.bz2) because /usr/share/automake doesn't exist. 
(There's only a /usr/share/automake-1.4 directory in my mandrake 9.0 
installation).

here's part of 'ls -l alsa-oss-0.9.0rc1' output after extracting from 
the tarball:
[...]
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           30 Dez 17 11:02 install-sh -> 
/usr/share/automake/install-sh
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           27 Dez 17 11:02 missing -> 
/usr/share/automake/missing
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           33 Dez 17 11:02 mkinstalldirs -> 
/usr/share/automake/mkins
These 3 links are pointing to a path that doesn't exist.

Building from cvs using './cvscompile' works fine.

btw: What do I need this alsa-oss package for? I didn't miss any 
functionality up to now without it, i.e I can cat wav files to /dev/dsp, ...
