It's not everyday you get to complain about your own software. ;)

Yesterday I tried to install/compile ecasound to a freshly installed
RedHat6.1 box. I stumbled into the following problems:

- /usr/local/bin not specified in /etc/ld.so.conf
- the latest ecasound-RPMs requires ncurses-5.x while Redhat
  still comes with ncurses4.x -> I've downgraded all my systesm
  to ncurses so this shouldn't cause problems in the future
- GNU libtool wasn't installed even though I chose all development
  related packages
- RedHat installed Qt into /usr/lib/qt-2.0.1 and libraries
  to /usr/lib/qt-2.0.1/lib. This caused all kind of problems.
  At the end I managed to recompile the rpm packages with the
  following:

--cut--
export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-2.0.1
export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib/qt-2.0.1/lib
rpm --rebuild ecasound-1.7.1d11-1.src.pm
--cut--

If you've had similar problems with other Linux distros,
I'd like to know about them. My aim is to make ecasound as
compatible as possible. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to
be an easy task.
