Running latest version of Dosbox (0.6) under Linux Mandrake 9.2.
If I install the version from the RedHat RPM, everything works fine. If I compile it myself from the source code, it runs fine but the sound is really laggy and choppy. Any idea what is going on?
I didn't change any options, just
./configure
make
make install
If there another switch I need to pass to get a similar version to the binary one?
Thanks.

That does strip -s do? Is that something that I should type as part of the configure script, or the makefile? Sorry, I'm fairly new to the whole process.
Thanks.
you do it on the dosbox executable
strip -s dosbox

I had the same problem on Redhat until I adjusted the CXXFLAGS like so :
CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" ./configure
Explanation:
-march=athlon-xp // Sets the architecture.
-O3 // Optimization level. 3 can introduce some unintentional bugs but I've never had any problems with it
-pipe // Speeds up the compile process. No runtime gain
-fomit-frame-pointer // Removes the frame pointer for all functions wich results in a runtime gain but makes debugging impossible on x86's
hope this helps
