I tried for a long time to get ices 0.3 to work... it looked like a 
problem with -ldl being used to dynamically link other libraries (libdl 
is used a lot on linux, but doesn't exist on netbsd), removing -ldl and 
the error checking allowed configure to run, but the build failed 
horribly. I wanted to try to fix this but never had the time. No clue 
about ices2 (until I get 30G of mp3s re-ripped, I can't really use 
ices2).

I think the fundamental problem with ices/netbsd might be that netbsd's 
pthread implementation vs. what ices expects to see.

Just so you know, liveice, darkice, and xmms-liveice can all do 
streaming to icecast, and are in pkgsrc (I presume they build 
properly). Also, libshout 2.0 is in pkgsrc, and I was also able to 
compile the python bindings (python-shout 0.1) to work with it out of 
the box (downloaded from icecast.org). So there are definitely was to 
get your audio to icecast. If you require ices or muse only, and can't 
use anything else, then I guess you're still up a creek, but it is 
definitely *not* true that there aren't any streamers in pkgsrc.

I've been working on setting up an icecast stream from NetBSD for 
awhile (currently limited by available bandwidth). I will email you 
off-list if I get anything working (the project I currently have is 
python-based, and can successfully stream mp3s to icecast, but has no 
effective GUI).
