With ref: segfaults with Audacity. Get the binary tarball of audacity 1.2.0-pre3 from: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/beta/audacity-linux-i386.php/audacity-linux-i386.tar.bz2 Unpack it and do: which audacity | xargs ls -lh audacity-linux-i386-1.2.0-pre3/audacity You'll see that the two binaries are different sizes by a mile (2.6M Vs 6.1M) ... this is obviously wrong. You can run the newly unpacked binary without installing, just do: ./audacity And voila ... it works. Then just overwrite the file in /usr/bin with the new one, don't bother with the makefile. Yup, rpm -V will complain, but I guess I can live with that for now, until a fixed package comes out (or I use checkinstall to make a new one). [H]omer
