With ref: segfaults with Audacity.
Get the binary tarball of audacity 1.2.0-pre3 from:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/beta/audacity-linux-i386.php/audacity-linux-i386.tar.bz2
Unpack it and do:
which audacity | xargs ls -lh audacity-linux-i386-1.2.0-pre3/audacity
You'll see that the two binaries are different sizes by a mile (2.6M Vs
6.1M) ... this is obviously wrong.
You can run the newly unpacked binary without installing, just do:
./audacity
And voila ... it works.
Then just overwrite the file in /usr/bin with the new one, don't bother
with the makefile. Yup, rpm -V will complain, but I guess I can live
with that for now, until a fixed package comes out (or I use
checkinstall to make a new one).
