Will get it later tonight at work. yum install libsamplerate --enablerepo=*\rpmforge yum install libsamplerate-devel --enablerepo=*\rpmforge rpm -Uvh soundtouch-1.3.1-6.el5.ccrma.i386.rpm ccrma rpm -Uvh wxCompat ccrma rpm -i --nodeps audacity-1.3.5-0.5.beta.el5.ccrma.i386.rpm yum install wxGTK.i386 --enablerepo=*\rpmforge If the audacity from crma is not free? Then I will check out the livna one. I'm thing I should not need the devel libs either. thanks for the help JohnStanley
