Subject: Re: [mad-user] MAD play will not compile

Hello, I've searched the archives and no one else seems to have this
problem: When I attempt to compile the 4th of the tarballs,
madplay-0.15.0b it finds errors in the 'libid3' links. Libid3 already
compiled successfully. This occurs even when I use the syntax
"./configure --libdir=/usr/local/lib", (the configure completes). Is
this error somehow related to all the info in the archives about MAD
not handling ID3 tagging properly? Is there a workaround? Unlike
most I don't really care if the ID info shows up; I'm looking for
better playback. I use Red Hat 9 on a dual athlon 1900+ with an
m-Audio delta 1010 (run by ALSA). Can anyone advise?

The problem seems to be you are linking against older versions of
libmad and libid3tag. Make sure you run 'make install' on both of those
after you build them, before you build madplay.
FYI, --libdir only affects the installation directory for libraries,
not where to look for them for building/linking. If you've installed
the libraries in an unusual place, you'll need to tell the 'configure'
./configure ... CPPFLAGS="-I/some/include/dir"
LDFLAGS="-L/some/lib/dir"

I did a make install on all items in question and they are all in the
default locations. I will look for updates but I downloaded the latest
from sourceforge. Thanks!
