[PlanetCCRMA] FW: [Ardour-users] Ardour/jack totally broken on two systems now using jack 0.39.0...

Fernando,
   synaptic did remove the jack helper stuff, but not jack itself. I had to
use rpm -e to do that. I just don't know why. synaptic didn't give any
reasons...

   I think your words about RPMS are very wise. Personally I would like to
stick with RPMs most of the time. The system, overall, works better for me
when I do. Problems come up, at times though, with these apps that aren't so
stable and are changing faster than you can keep up with there. And, yes,
the RH model vs. other distribution model for directories doesn't help. But
I think we can learn how to handle it, or at least I hope so.

   The other thing I'm running into is there isn't only a standard
"./configure, make, make install" cycle, but also "./autogen.sh,
./configure, make, make install" and also "./autogen.sh, make, make install"
cycle, so I'm seldom sure that I'm really building things correctly! The
README's and INSTALL files get out of date, or apply to some other
distribution, so you get a lot of problems going that way also. It's fine
for real software people, but it's a problem for me. I just want it to work.
;-)

   The problems of being on the leading edge...

Thanks,
Mark
