Re: [mpg123-devel] Building mpg123 under Ubuntu

[Dave R. <dre...@ya...>]

Is there an alsa-devel, or something like that?   I didn't see anything appropriate.... or are you talking about the mpg123-dev package?   I shouldn't need that if I've downloaded the entire mpg123 tarball from SourceForge, should I?

Hi,

have you installed the corresponding devel packages from apt?
