[arch-general] Tk707. Problems getting sounds out of it (Don't Panic)
Looking for available audio apps, I installed tk707. There were some problems when starting it from the CLI (couldn't find shared libraries) as below. [djmons@myhost ~]$ tk707 /usr/bin/tk707bin: error while loading shared libraries: libtk8.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [djmons@myhost ~]$ tk707bin tk707bin: error while loading shared libraries: libtk8.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [djmons@myhost ~]$ su Password: \[root@myhost djmons]# ln -s /usr/lib/libtk8.5.so /usr/lib/libtk8.4.so [root@myhost djmons]# exit exit [djmons@myhost ~]$ tk707 /usr/bin/tk707bin: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [djmons@myhost ~]$ su Password: [root@myhost djmons]# ldconfig [root@myhost djmons]# tk707 /usr/bin/tk707bin: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [root@myhost djmons]# ln -s /usr/lib/libtcl8.5.so /usr/lib/libtcl8.4.so [root@myhost djmons]# exit As you can see, I created a couple of symlinks, and then starting tk707 again, opened the ports selection window. So far so good. I've got an Audigy2 soundblaster on this machine, and need to load a soundfont to use the hardware synth. I looked for the awesfx package, and jacman shows version 0.5.0d-2 available from the community repo, but installing it with jacman failed (couldn't find the package). I also tried pacman -S awesfx, but again the package couldn't be found. The community repo is uncommented in /etc/pacman.conf, and pacman -Sy shows it on the list of updated databases. Any suggestions as to how I can get the awesfx package? I could use TiMidity to get sounds out of tk707, or Qsynth (If it's available), but being able to load the soundfont for my card is preferable. Thanks for any help, suggestions. Nigel.
Hello,
As you can see, I created a couple of symlinks, and then starting tk707 again, opened the ports selection window. So far so good.
Instead of symlinking to much I like to suggest that you try to rebuild the tk707 using the PKGBUILD in ABS.
Any suggestions as to how I can get the awesfx package?
It is not in any of the repos but it is in AUR
Thanks for any help, suggestions.
Nigel.
I hope it helps

Hi Stefan. I had hoped that you would not mention AUR for the awesfx package, as I'd previously been told to get the Aldrin package that works from AUR, by someone on the LAU list. I've looked at the AUR info 2 or 3 times, and it seemed a bit difficult for me. I suppose I'll just have to go for it, and see how I get on with AUR. Thanks for your reply. Nigel.
