[GLLUG] RedHat 8.0 Sound Issues

[Ashton Shortridge]

Hello all,

I'm having problems with the aRts sound server. Last summer sound was working 
fine (RedHat 7.3, KDE 2.x), but I was screwing around and broke something. I 
wrongly supposed that an upgrade (finally accomplished after the semester 
ended) would help, but this is not the case, and now I'm hoping someone here 
might point me in the right direction.

Sound for some applications works ok, but not for others, including the 
desktop environment (no beeps, pings, and fanfare at exit) and xmms. At login 
I get the following warning messages:

Sound server warning message:
loading extension from '/usr/lib/libartsbuilder.la' failed: 
/usr/lib/libartsbuilder.so.0: undefined symbol: _ZTIN4Arts11Object_skelE

... followed by 5 or 6 other warnings. If you could help identify a solution, 
I'd sure appreciate it!

Ashton
