test I

| - I created a clean partition

| - configured internet (piece of cake)
| - created protux and libmustux head dirs (clean)
| - checked them out
| - entende libmustux, runned aclocal

ok, if it fails here, nothing else can work... and protux will never
find libmustux.so.0

AC_ALSA_PATH is part of the ALSA distribution. You sure you installed
alsa-devel stuff ?
If you installed it look if there is an alsa.m4 file under
/usr/share/aclocal or /usr/local/share/aclocal or somewhere else
if there is one, you can try adding the path to it to aclocal:
$ aclocal -I /usr/share/aclocal
(or whereever you find your alsa.m4).

If Mandrake fails to deliver the alsa.m4 file with it's alsa-devel
package, you'll have to install ALSA yourself (from source).

alsa.m4 is _officially_ part of ALSA, and should be included in any
alsa-devel package. If Mandrake forgot to include it, it would be worth
to fill a bugreport !

If there are several cases where distributions forget to include this
_necessary_ file, we can of course include a copy of it with libmustux,
and keep it in sync ourselves with alsa's alsa.m4 (as we do with
ogg/vorbis, where the .m4 file of the last release is broken, and i
included the official CVS version with libmustux to avoid any problem).

ok, so it's not a problem to just compile them with the rest of Protux
without doing the step of a static library. I'll take care of it.

No fear, you don't disturb anyone, you found/experienced a problem, we
have to fix it.
Unfortunately my disk space is rare... and i have already space
problems... so there is no way to install any distribution for the
moment, until i bought a new disk !

Check what i said above, and we'll see more.
