je vous forwarde ce courrier car audacity est un bon éditeur de wav et que son installation est spéciale : il vaut mieux utiliser un rpm que compiler :-) jdd ---------- Message transmis ---------- Subject: Re: [Audacity-users] install problems (linux) Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2003 08:09:49 +0100 From: Dodin Jean-Daniel <jdanield@dodin.net>To: Austin Acton <aacton@YorkU.CA> Le Lundi 20 Janvier 2003 23:22, Austin Acton a écrit : > Don't use brute force.

I teach Open Source (and will use audacity as a reference - I like crossplateforms products) and so I want to know the very last version and use very often alpha, beta or 0.01 version. they don't always run, but I never break my system. (except for some ext3 stuff, but my / and home are _not_ on the same partition :-). beta linux are often better than windows final :-((( > Try > # urpmi hackaudacity > and everything will be taken care of for you... dependencies and > everything. Forcing is not the right solution. as I said it's difficult to know if using beta is better than forcing (may be yes, may be no). urpmi is a good thing, but there is a wrong issue: the place and the name of the hdlist file differs from site to site and finding it is not well documented (I had to do a html search on "hdlist" on the ftp page to find "synch.hdlist2.cz" on the page I use) however you should quote on your web site the compiling problem, this is _very_ unusual. most of the geeks advocate compiling versus rpm. thanks. your application is a good one. jdd -- <http://www.dodin.net> Formation Linux débutants open ------------------------------------------------------- -- <http://www.dodin.net> Formation Linux débutants open --------------------------------------------------------------------- Aide sur la liste: <URL:mailto:linux-31-help@CULTe.org>Le CULTe sur le web: <URL:http://www.CULTe.org/>
