Yes, ATM I'm starting with a clean setup by deleting the src directory,
and then unpacking the last one I know to work, the 082911.tgz release.
cd to it, ./configure,  the only no answer is the gettext question.
Make, and while thats running, gtk and glib are both 1.2.8, gcc is
2.95.2

The usual warnings, plus that one about the libdb.so.* libraries.

Make install is next, seemed to be ok.

Done, BUT I hadn't deleted the /root/.gtoast* stuff, so I'll repeat the
run again.  It exited normally when I said no to useing the newer
configs it found.  They are now deleted, and I'm running it again.
This time it came back without opening any screens, showing:
SIGUSR1 0x405028e9 in __wait4 () from /lib/libc.so.6
So I entered run again, and it asked if I wanted to run it from the
beginning, I said yes, and now have the first time advisory message and
the default smallish window.

I didn't have to change much before, only the path in the 'common' tab
that defaults to /tmp, I reset it to /mnt/hdc3 where all the sources for
the projected burn are located.  Then click on the ISO9660 tab, and the
top line shows as /var/cdfs, and thats full of links to the /mnt/hdc3
files.  Then click on CDROM and recorder setup, have it scan the bus and
find it at SCSI deviceID 1,0,0 as /dev/scd0.  Set audio to no sound, and
click on apply.  Segfault.  I've clipped the screen and pasted to
kwrite, hopefully I can get it over here and cut it in.

Now, doing the 'bt'enter operation.  And that kicked out about half a
screenfull.

ok, lemme do the same stunt again.
executing in the src dir;
rm -f config.cache config.status
./configure --with-debug
make clean
make; it marches right along, but eventually comes to preview.c, and

As above, I'd deleted the .gtoast**** stuffs from /root, which I am
before I'd started the second time.  I had, at one point, noted that the
.gtoasterrc file had the temp area as /dev/hdc3, so I had hand edited it
to be /mnt/hdc3, which should be the correct way to do that (I think, at
this point I don't know if I'm spelling the name I've had for 66 years
right!)

One smallish item, sound would be nice, but the choices presented do not
include emu10k1 for an SBLive Value!.  There is supposedly, an OSS hook
compiled in, but the one time I tried that, nada, zip, quiet.  And also
no errors.

FWIW, after this problem started, I renamed the fsedit path from
/var/gtoast to /var/cdfs, just to make it match the default.  It can't
find it either way.  Maybe find isn't the correct word, but it fusses
about it just the same. :-)

That dir is mode 40777, and root:root, most of the links inside it are
mode 100644 and root:root where the root:root is owner:group

According to mc, those links point all over the system, but if I 'ls'
it, none are flashing so I assume (theres THAT word again) that they are
all good.

Next step coach?  Also, thanks for the speedy reply, a lot.  And I'll go
fix the spam filter before I even send this.  Humm, you have 2 (or maybe
more?) addresses, I had it as @bigfoot.com.  not gmx.de.  Now they are
both set to allow.

Cheers Andy, Gene
