[gmediaserver-devel] Re: [Fwd: Re: Gmediaserver 0.12.0 Configure Error]

[Richard Lapointe]

Hi Osker

That fixed it.  Although I could not apply the patch, (my lack of Linux 
knowledge) I eventually  figured out that it's purpose was to edited the 
configure.ac file.  I managed to manually edit the file by adding the 
"[-lz]" at the end of the "AC_CHECK_LIB [magic]" line.  After editing I 
ran autoconf and then was able to configure, make, and install.  So, it 
working now, serving mp3's to my MP10!

Also, just to let you know, I sent the original email to the mailing 
list (address@hidden) but got a delivery failure message 
from Yahoo.  This happen twice, once on the original and then when I 
cc'ed the mailing list on the email I sent directly to you.

Regards

Rich
