Naturally, as soon as I posted the problem, I figured out the solution myself.
When I set the configure prefix to /usr/pebble, that got applied to ALL the target paths, including the ones used at runtime. This is a problem because the target filesystem is at /usr/pebble when compiling, but it's at / after I copy the fs over to the compact flash card that the embedded system boots from. The thing was looking for /usr/pebble/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf and not finding it. When I created such a path on the target fs, it started to work. Of course, my original debugging problem still stands: How can I get alsa to print out this error? ===== -- Bart __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
