i dont understand - do you have libporttime.so installed in
/usr/local/lib or not?
im not sure how/why loading libpthread fixes anything.

"better" is in the eyes of the beholder. portmidi is bascially a
lightweight connection to the host midi system. midishare is a larger,
more "monolithic" system for doing midi. midishare api is probaly
better for sending lots of data since you use typeNote and avoid having
to schedule/send noteOffs.
rts lets you shedule musical processes to run in real time. if you dont
need processes you can just send data over using (pm:output ) for
portmidi and (ms:output ) for midishare.
i hope this answers your questions.
best,
rick
