I have been unable to any of the utilities included in alsa-utils
including amixer alsamixer aplay for the last several releases of ALSA
0.9.0X versions. Each time, I have had very similar failures. I will
describe my encountered using the newly released ALSA 0.9.0rc6
version.
I was able to compile and install alsa-driver and alsa-lib however I
was not able to compile the complete alsa-utils. The build process did
complete the building of amixer alsamixer and alsactl however the
process failed while building play. The error list included at bottom
of post. During previous versions of ALSA I was able to compile aplay,
however I was still never able to use it.
I build and installed the libraries using the buildrpm script, which
worked very well. For my system only RPM controlled files are allowed
in /usr/lib/ other libs belong in /usr/local/lib .
For this test I loaded the snd-dummy drivers into the kernel. When I
use the snd-trident drivers I get the same results. I'm using the
dummy drivers to eliminate the possibility that I am running into a
hardware configuration problem.
Here are my results
