Alsa is installed, so i do not know what to do. It is my 2nd install of BlitzMax112. The 1st one gave me some other strange errors -> some shared objects not found and so on. I hate Linux for the errors i ALLWAYS get if i want to install some apps.

Alsa is installed?

You mean alsa-dev?

apt-get install alsa-dev fail-> could not find alsa-dev .
apt-get install alsa fail -> the newsest version ist already installed.

:(

try apt searching for "alsa-dev" or "alsa-devel"..
I'm sure there's a package out there with your name on it!! ;)

apt-get is a crappy piece of software for me:

root@Regaa:~/Worm# apt-get install alsa-dev

PS: All Pakets under Synaptic->search->alsa are installed.

I had this problem and searched for 'asound' or 'lasound' with Synaptic, which found the libraries/devs required.

I have installed lasound via Synaptic, the installation went fine. But this error still exists:

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libasound.so when searching for -lasound

What version of lasound does BlitzMax await? what else could the error be?

Now i have removed all alsa-packets and installed this one (with all needed depencies):

http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/download.pl?arch=amd64&file=pool%2Fmain%2Fa%2Falsa-lib%2Flibasound2-dev_1.0.5-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb&md5sum=79733d5b7106fdbfad256f3d344007ec&arch=amd64&type=main

the installation went fine, but still the same error->

On Debian (which Ubuntu is derived from),

apt-get install libasound2-dev

works for me.

Does BlitzMax work with AMD 64 now?

I think the problem is that it needs to link on 32-bit libraries and you don't have any for ALSA.

On the previous version of Ubuntu we had a lib64 and lib32, but I still needed to install a chroot for a full 32-bit Ubuntu install. This was the only way BlitzMax could compile apps at the time. I'm not sure if this situation has changed.

Edit: Just saw another thread - looks like it has a bit.
