Icecast Streaming Media Server

I've gotten this working with no problems on other machines, but for some reason I'm having an issue now. This is a fresh Fedora 5 install. I installed libshout and icecast using yum, then installed the shout-python library (though I get the identical error using alternate bindings, shoutpy for example).

In python, typing "import shout" returns this:

ImportError: /usr/lib/libshout.so.3: undefined symbol: speex_packet_to_header

Speex and speex-devel both seem to exist, so I'm not sure what's up.

I just can't figure out where to go with this one. Any advice?

firstly make sure you have the latest libshout, then make sure that libspeex to being loaded by libshout (ldd /usr/lib/libshout.so.3).

Here's the output of ldd /usr/lib/libshout.so.3:

linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00f8f000)
libtheora.so.0 => /usr/lib/libtheora.so.0 (0x0037a000)
libvorbis.so.0 => /usr/lib/libvorbis.so.0 (0x00ad6000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x007c5000)
libogg.so.0 => /usr/lib/libogg.so.0 (0x003ac000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x0020b000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x0021f000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x46fcb000)

OK, it seems Libspeex is not there. Any thoughts on how to link it in? I naively tried:

ldconfig -l libspeex.so.1.3.0 libshout.so.3.2.0

and switching the library order, that didn't cut it.

I installed libshout using yum, so maybe I should build from source?

[karlH]

you'll have to recreate the lib, your libshout is referring to libspeex symbols but is relying on whatever is linking it (python in this case) to include libspeex. I'd try rebuilding from source and make sure you have a recent libspeex installed.

Ok, rebuilding it worked smoothly. It put everything in /usr/local/lib instead of /usr/lib, but a couple symbolic links worked just fine.

This is the first time I've tried installing libshout via yum, and it didn't seem to work right. I'm half wondering if anybody else is having the same problem using the yum version?

In FC 5 builds, it seems a require missed somewhere in libshout builds. This has been corrected in FC6
