My "amixer" utility has been copied under "/bin". I followed a mail thread which said to load "share" folder under "/usr". But even with this the problem persisted. I'm just pasting here the contents of my /usr/share # ls share/ aclocal alsa locale # ls -la share/alsa/ drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 1024 May 12 2010 . drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 1024 May 12 2010 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7701 May 12 2010 alsa.conf drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 2048 May 12 2010 cards drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 May 12 2010 pcm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3205 May 12 2010 sndo-mixer.alisp Just to make sure, do I have to install my entire staging area created through install of alsa-lib and alsa-utils in to the /usr/share?
