Maybe you could compile a simpler qemu and libSDL for us?  I have no 
interest in using sound under qemu and this is getting much too complex.

Thanks, I did not see it in that package for SW9.1.  I have to change 
glibc first, to SW9.0 or 10.2.  I have the CD for the latter and it would 
be more useful if it works (with BL2).

Is this not the same as ldd /usr/local/bin/qemu, which does not list the 
dependencies of the dependencies such as libSDL?

But the computer is not usable at present.  First a different power 
supply, then a different glibc.  I also need to get and try to compile 
naim on that setup.  A friend fished a circa 450MHz computer out of a 
dumpster for us today which might work instead.  The students left town 
this weekend.  (One year they left us half a box of chocolates).
