I did not specify --enable-mwavedd when I ran .configure.  I'll give that a shot, and report back.

I have also attached the result of running dmesg.  I apologize for putting such a big file in everyone's mailbox.

Another thing, looking at this dmesg dump, I noticed that Linux picked up my San Disk compact flash card reader.  How do I mount it?

Thanks,
Jeffrey Glen Rennie
