I just compiled the emu10k1-11161999 from Creative and have a working Soundblaster Live. I installed 'mixviews' using dselect successfully but what and where is the programme? I looked in /var/lib/dpkg for information but all I can find is the package name. The other problem is that I tried to compile the package 'mix-linux.tar.gz' which I fetched from an ftp server. It dies trying to include 'audio.h', 'audiofile.h' and 'bstring.h'. Commenting these out, AFfile_whatsits are missing and clearly these files are needed. I used grep to look for the missing definitions in headers that are on my system, slink with a 2.2.12 kernel. I've looked for the missing files using 'find' in /usr/include and /usr/src/linux/include.
This fragmentation across linux distributions does no good to making linux a household choice instead of Windows. Ian Stirling
