As distributed, the 32-bit version of libAFSAudioPlayer is accessed, even on an x86-64 machine. By re-compiling the library (as suggested by sdnalloh), the compiler will by default generate the correct version, thus circumventing what is in essence a packaging problem. To make the recompile work, you have to have the alsa-devel package installed, which provides the header alsa/asoundlib.h, without which you get the pages and pages of error messages.

The easier method is, however, Nicolas Varney's: if you have a 64-bit box, just rename and symb-link:

# cd /usr/lib/airfoilspeakers

# mv libAFSAudioPlayer.so libAFSAudioPlayer32.so

# ln -s libAFSAudioPlayer64.so libAFSAudioPlayer.so

All of this should, of course, be part of the rpm package's install scripts (of which there is currently none).

This is correct, there is no "avahi-sharp" package for OpenSuSE 11. It is, however, also not necessary, since the "avahi-mono" package provides what's needed. To solve your problem, make sure all other dependencies are OK, then install with the "rpm -i --nodeps" option. Also, as distributed, it will not work for 64-bit machines.

After a bit of work, we got this to work, and intend to summarise our findings elsewhere in these pages.
