Also, ubuntu doesn't ship with development tools. Make sure you have them. The quickest way is via the "build-essential" meta-package: apt-get install build-essential.

[edit] durrr, you're running c99, you have dev tools. What happens when you type 'make' ?

I have zero sound! I can't even get test tones to play in the sound preferences!

If anyone have any idea what's going here, I'd appreciate the help.

When you re-enabled the Audigy, did you disable the on-board sound in the BIOS? I had a bunch of problems like this with my on-board sound and my audigy2: Everything worked great on the first boot. Sound came out of my headphones, which were plugged into the Audigy. Muck around a bit and do a reboot... no sound. I ran kmix (kubuntu user here), and manually selected the audigy, still no dice. Finally disabled on-board sound in the BIOS, and KDE made a nice bleep noise on the next reboot and has been fine ever since.

I didn't check, but I imagine in my case the audio was coming out of the on-board card after the initial boot-up.

Quick question: Is there an easy way to send an AOL IM from a script? I'm looking for something like "echo 'Hewo new yorku!' | sendim -u username -p password -d 1337Hiro". The closest I've found is a bare-bones stateful script, which requires me to log in, send the IM and then log out (though, come to think of it, I don't know if it even provides a log out command.)

Do you do perl? There's the Net::AIM module that will let you create exactly what you're describing, using AOL's TOC network protocol. It's a fairly simple module to work with.

That said, I haven't touched perl or Net::AIM in like 3 years. It might not work anymore.
