No symbols in libopenal.so

[Scot L. Harris]

While attempting to install X-plane on a fresh FC4 install with latest
updates ran into a problem with the libopenal.so.0 library.

I found the openal package in FC Extras.

openal-0.0.9-0.2.20060204cvs.fc4

But when I attempt to run X-Plane I get the following error:

./X-Plane-i586: symbol lookup error: ./X-Plane-i586: undefined symbol:
alutInit

Running the following command on the libopenal.so.0.0 library seems to
indicate that the symbols have been stripped.

nm /usr/lib/libopenal.so.0.0.0
nm: /usr/lib/libopenal.so.0.0.0: no symbols

Which would seem to explain the undefined symbol for alutInit.

Is there a reason this library was built this way?

Is there an alternative package that has a libopenal.so.0 file that
contains the symbols?
