Oh, sorry. That's weird. I don't see it on a couple of mirrors I looked at. What I did when 9.1 came out was save my local cooker contrib/ mirror which should have been the same as the release. Maybe something has changed. If you want, I put a copy here: http://home.mindspring.com/~rolfpedersen/hackaudacity-1.1.0-4mdk.i586.rpm


Thanks man. I appreciate it. Man it is soooo easy to get into dependencies hell! I do rpm -ivh hackaudacity-1.1.0-4mdk.i586.rpm and get:
error: failed dependencies:
libwx_gtk-2.3.so.1 is needed by hackaudacity-1.1.0-4mdk


No problem, let's go find it. It is in a file called wxGTK-2.3.2-11.i386.rpm, so I think, well why not. I get:

error: failed dependencies:
        OpenGL is needed by wxGTK-2.3.2-11
        iconv is needed by wxGTK-2.3.2-11
        wxwin-afm = 2.3.2 is needed by wxGTK-2.3.2-11
        wxwin-common = 2.3.2 is needed by wxGTK-2.3.2-11

ARRGGGGG!!! hahahaha... I guess what I should do is concentrate on finding out why on earth two of the two editors I have installed refuse to recognize my /dev/dsp. ??? It makes no sense. ALL of the other numerous programs play audio with no problems at all.


Yeah, that can be frustrating. Hmmm, looking at my sources, somehow, although there is at least one 9.1 package, most of what I am seeing are 9.0 contrib/ packages. I don't know how that happened but, if you want, I put the 9.0 version of wxGTK2.3_1-2.3.2-7mdk.i586.rpm, which installs when I 'urpmi hackaudacity' on my, otherwise, 9.1 setup, here: http://home.mindspring.com/~rolfpedersen/wxGTK2.3_1-2.3.2-7mdk.i586.rpm
Sorry for the confusion! If you 'rpm -ivh' with both packages in one command and it installs, the executable is still audacity and starts by typing 'audacity' at the prompt.
