I'm starting a new topic for this as it is a separate issue... Running csound5.07 on Ubuntu 7.10. I am able to render sound files to HDD and then play in an external media player, but am unable to render and listen in real time. There error received is: *** error: unknown rtaudio module: 'PortAudio' I have also tried running csound with +-rtaudio=alsa, that is $ csound -odac -+rtaudio=alsa endless.orc endless.sco and similarly receive *** error: unknown rtaudio module: 'alsa'. Have the following packages installed: libportaudio0 - v18 libportaudio2 - v19 libportaudiocpp0 Have also tried running csound with just libportaudio0 installed, or just libportaudio2 installed, same problem. ALSA packages installed: alsa-base alsa-utils libasound2 libesd-alsa0 libsdl1.2debian-alsa linux-sound-base code of problem: ---------------------------- $ csound -odac endless.orc endless.sco Localisation of messages is disabled, using default language. time resolution is 1.000 ns 0dBFS level = 32768.0 Csound version 5.07 beta (float samples) Nov 15 2007 libsndfile-1.0.17 orchname: endless.orc scorename: endless.sco orch compiler: 67 lines read instr 1 Elapsed time at end of orchestra compile: real: 0.044s, CPU: 0.000s sorting score ... ... done Elapsed time at end of score sort: real: 0.045s, CPU: 0.000s Csound version 5.07 beta (float samples) Nov 15 2007 graphics not supported on this terminal, ascii substituted 0dBFS level = 32768.0 orch now loaded audio buffered in 256 sample-frame blocks *** error: unknown rtaudio module: 'PortAudio' ; <<<<<<<<<< Failed to initialise real time audio output inactive allocs returned to freespace end of score. overall amps: 0.0 overall samples out of range: 0 1 errors in performance Elapsed time at end of performance: real: 0.046s, CPU: 0.000s Removing temporary file /tmp/fileCd1lbm.srt ... --------------------------------------------------- Anyone help with fixing this problem?
