so during compile time an -mcpu=i686 doesn't matter then? I'll take your
word for it (or get off my butt and re-read the gcc man page)

That would be correct. I'm following the instructions as provided by
CCRMA to build your own alsa libs, and in doesn't mention putting jack
devel files.

Argh! The compile your own alsa driver section of the doc doesn't cover
this... hmmm, i'd like jack, but i figure it's more important to get the
dang thing loading first before moving on to fiddly frilly bits ;)

I assume these devel files can be got from the SRPMS directory on your
server. Will it be a case of installing that and the alsa-lib rpm build
picking this up? In the meantime, i'll hack the spec and try and remove
the jack references.

Cheers,

Pete.
