[SOLVED] yaourt: 'strip binary required' error message

[chiz]

Hi everyone,

My first post and cry for help.

I'm a total noob when it comes to Linux and installing packages. Started just last week and managed to get a POGO-E02 media server running using Qui's excellent guide (http://blog.qnology.com/2013/03/tutoria ... linux.html). At the moment, I have the server running Logitech Media Server and Squeezelite and I can hear music from the Behringer U-CONTROL UCA202 DAC after some troubleshooting why the soundcard would intermittently be detected by the system.

Long story short, I'm trying to install alsaequal and got as far as getting package-query and yaourt installed. Even gotten to modifying the alsaequal PKGBUILD to update the arch=('arm') element.

Then, I ran into issue with yaourt generating the error message below. Now, I'm stuck on how to resolve this issue.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '==> Building and installing package
==> WARNING: Building package as root is dangerous.
Please run yaourt as a non-privileged user.
==> ERROR: Cannot find the strip binary required for object file stripping.
==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build alsaequal.
==> Restart building alsaequal ? [y/N]
==> ----------------------------------')

Really appreciate any help or tips. Thanks!

Thanks for the response, WarheadsSE.

However, I seem to be missing something here. I tried all the commands you posted, except that I'm not sure at the last instruction. Posting the results of my execution of the instructions:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@alarm tmp]# pacman -S pkgfile

I made significant progress!

It appears I need to install A LOT of packages as the strip binary is really a component needed in order to recompile alsaequal. Had to install base-devel and so many stuff, e.g., GCC, MAKE, etc., thanks to pacman.

Finally was able to build the package for alsaequal and install it. Now, when I run alsamixer for alsaequal, I get the following error:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@alarm ~]# alsamixer -D equal
Failed to load plugin "/usr/lib/ladspa/caps.so": /usr/lib/ladspa/caps.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
[root@alarm ~]#
')

I've read in the AUR that caps is needed so I went ahead and downloaded from the source (http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html#Download), got the PKGBUILD file from AUR and compiled caps.

After a long wait, here's what I got:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@alarm caps-0.9.16]# makepkg --asroot

More debugging adventures to come I guess. I'll continue another day.

I finally got alsaequal working and even posted a short how-to on this thread: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=6473

Requesting the moderators to close this topic. Thanks!
