[PlanetCCRMA] Planet CCRMA technical difficulties?

[BartonBosch at aol.com]

I have been trying to manually install some of the CCRMA RPMs without a lot 
of success.

First, a key file (the libsndfile RPM) has been giving 404 - not found errors 
on both the main site and the mirror, for all of the various versions as well 
as the source RPM.  I tried to work around by installing libsndfile from the 
source code provided by its author, but I ran into some failed dependencies.  
My best guess is that there are some configuration options that need to be 
thrown in order for libsndfile to be compatible with the CCRMA rpms.  The failed 
dependencies were <libasound.so.2> and <libsndfile.so.1>. MusE, Jack and 
Fluidsynth all depend upon them, and they were not present on my system after 
installing from the author's source.

More recently, I am unable to download *anything* from the planet site.  I 
click on the link, the loading bar begins as if it were going to pop-up the 
download dialog box, and nothing pops up.  There is an offchance that my pop-up 
blocker software is malfunctioning, tho I do have it set to allow pop-ups from 
the CCRMA site, it is not registering any blocked pop-ups and I am able to 
download from other sites.

Would someone please confirm whether the site is malfunctioning or it is 
something on my end?

Finally, these problems are all occuring while the site maintainer is on 
vacation.  Is there anyone at the wheel while Mr. Lopez-Lezcano is away?  Does 
anyone have any info on the libsndfile situation?

Thanks

Barton
