Re: Avifile package - help needed
Just out of curiousity.. Does it work w/ 2.4.0-test11 and above?
Something in avifile checks /proc/cpuinfo for the "flags" entry,
which was renamed in test11 (I don't remember the new name for
it, I reverted to test10. Anyone running 2.4.0 could tell you).
Thus, it would die immediately for me.
