mpg123 is a console MPEG audio player, a really fast highly optimized player for your mp3 files. Here is my humble experience in building it on Fedora 10. (Here are my other records.) One would like to have the rpm environment set up correctly to run rpmbuild successfully, for example: [mpg@ex ~]$ cat .rpmmacros %packager Michael Roy <mclroy@gmail.com> %_topdir /home/mpg %_rpmtopdir %{_topdir}/rpm %_builddir %{_rpmtopdir}/BUILD %_rpmdir %{_rpmtopdir}/RPMS %_sourcedir %{_rpmtopdir}/SOURCES %_specdir %{_rpmtopdir}/SPECS %_srcrpmdir %{_rpmtopdir}/SRPMS %_tmppath %{_rpmtopdir}/TMP [mpg@ex ~]$ and perhaps this one: [mpg@ex ~]$ cat .rpmrc optflags: i686 -O2 -g -m32 -mtune=core2 [mpg@ex ~]$ Download the player from mpg123.org:
