    Installation problem

    Hi folks,

    BLFS 6.1

    I encountered problem on installing a small package, TimiDity, a midi player. The installing steps is straight forward;

    $ ./configrue
    $ make
    # make install

    The same steps can install this package on FC3 successfully.

    Steps performed as follows;

    bash-3.00$ cd /sources
    bash-3.00$ tar jxf TiMidity++-2.13.2.tar.bz2
    bash-3.00 cd TiMidity++-2.13.2
    bash-3.00$ ./configure
    > make
    Code:
    then mv -f ".deps/oss_a.Tpo" ".deps/oss_a.Po"; \
else rm -f ".deps/oss_a.Tpo"; exit 1; \

    I could not discover where this package has been installed.

    bash-3.00$ ./configure --prefix=/usr &&
    with the same result.

    Only
    # which timidity
    Code:
    /usr/bin/timidity
    differed

    Please advise. TIA

    Probably this doesn't works:

    make[1]: Entering directory `/sources/TiMidity++-2.13.2/configs'
    make[2]: Entering directory `/sources/TiMidity++-2.13.2/configs'
    make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'.
    make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-data-am'.
    make[2]: Leaving directory `/sources/TiMidity++-2.13.2/configs'
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/sources/TiMidity++-2.13.2/configs'
    I believe you can solve the problem with

    Code:
    touch $PREFIX/etc/timidity.conf
    Of course the config file should contains right directives... see in /sources/TiMidity++-2.13.2/configs if there is a example configuration...
    When using Windows, have you ever told "Ehi... do your business?"

    Hi burnit,

    Tks for your advice.

    I believe you can solve the problem with

    Code:
    touch $PREFIX/etc/timidity.conf
    Whether you meant create a file "$PREFIX/etc/timidity.conf" and copy "/sources/TiMidity++-2.13.2/configure" on it.

    # timidity Midi_Guitar/
    Code:
    /usr/local/share/timidi$
timidity: Can't read any configuration file.
Please check /usr/local/share/timidity/timidity.cfg
    it was searching for "timidity.cfg"

    Of course the config file should contains right directives... see in /sources/TiMidity++-2.13.2/configs if there is a example configuration...
    $ ls -l /sources/TiMidity++-2.13.2 | grep configure
    Code:
    -rwxr-xr-x  1 satimis satimis 623430 Oct  3  2004 configure
-rw-r--r--  1 satimis satimis  58474 Oct  3  2004 configure.in
    It is there.

    TIA
