[linux-audio-user] building fst fails at make install step

[Dave Phillips]

Greetings:

  All of this points up why I wish the tutorials were wiki-ized. The fst 
1.6 package has not been repaired, even though I sent a notice to the 
developers quite some time ago. I certainly deplore the existence of 
misleading information as much as anyone else, but I simply can't keep 
up with things like this anymore.

  I'm sorry for wasting your time, Mark, and I hope you get things 
operational despite my instructions. ;)  I know how it feels: yesterday 
I spent an hour compiling xine for my laptop, only to find that the UI 
wouldn't build unless I used a newer version of the library. Grrr...

  Luke, if you or anyone else can supply me with updated 
compile/installation/configuration details for libfst or the vstserver 
I'll do one more update on the tutorial. Please try to point out where 
my tutorial is failing for you and I'll make the necessary changes.

Best regards,

dp
