ossxmix not working in kubuntu hardy

[phil42]

i recently upgraded from 4.2-2002 to 4.2-2003, ossxmix now fails with:

root@user:~# ossxmix: symbol lookup error: ossxmix: undefined symbol: g_malloc0_n
[1]+ Exit 127 ossxmix

in 64bit kubuntu hardy heron.

ossmix works.

Are libgtk2.0-0 and libglib2.0-0 packages installed?

[phil42]

yes, they are installed. please note that ossxmix worked before updating to 2003.

[phil42]

the problem posted in this link seems very similar:

Well, OSS's executables have same arch as modules, so it should be 64-bit ossxmix too.. What do 'ldd /usr/bin/ossxmix' and 'file /usr/bin/ossxmix' display?

This guy ended up reinstalling the distro to fix a similar issue... Try instead to reinstall libgtk2.0-0, libglib2.0-0...

[phil42]

ossxmix from the 2002 .deb package works with the 2003 version.

[cesium]

The ossxmix source hasn't changed a bit between the versions... And the build scripts are largely the same AFAIK.

[phil42]

i am guessing that the users of antiquated distros will need to compile oss4 from source.

[phil42]

reinstalling libgtk2.0-0 and libglib2.0-0 did not help. i can't reboot now, will try that later.

[spinoza]

I had the exact same problem when installing from the .deb, but this was fixed when installing from source (Mercurial option) according to this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound.

[phil42]

rebooting didn't help

[spinoza]

I should add that I am using Ubuntu 9.10, so this is probably not anything to do with you using an old distro. Have you tried the source install that I suggested?

[phil42]

no, i have been using ossxmix from the -2002 .deb package
