[GLLUG] RedHat 8.0 Sound Issues

[Melson, Paul]

Was this a clean install of RH8, or an upgrade?  libarsbuilder.so.0 is part of the 'kdemultimedia' RPM - you might try reinstalling that package, though I don't have high hopes.  If this was an upgrade from 7.3, you'll need to make sure anything having to do with libstdc++, KDE3, and Qt3, plus the kernel and all kernel modules are at the latest revision - registering w/ RHN and running up2date might be a good way to go.  Short of that, my recommendation is to back up your data and re-install clean.  Hope that helps!

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
