That's why I'm still on RH9 :)

They all look fine and after the rpm installation, but jackstart continues
to segfault.

I'd found that and compiled with both those entries.

The CVS build works perfectly well, except for the fact that I can't
get the realtime stuff working because of some permission issue that
jackstart is supposed to fix.

xtc:~% ls -l /usr/bin/jackstart
-rwsr-xr-x    1 root     root        51946 Jan 27 12:02 /usr/bin/jackstart

That looks fine...
[jh@xtc jackd]# ldd /usr/bin/jackstart
        libcap.so.1 => /lib/libcap.so.1 (0x4002d000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/i686/libm.so.6 (0x40032000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 (0x40054000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x400a4000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x400a8000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
[jh@xtc jackd]# ls -l /lib/libcap.so.1*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           14 Aug  4  2003 /lib/libcap.so.1 -> libcap.so.1.10
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        10916 Jan 24  2003 /lib/libcap.so.1.10

This looks good as well.

xtc:/usr1/jack/jackd% /usr/bin/jackstart -R -p512 -dalsa -dice1712 -r44100 -p256 -n2 -zs -H -M

JACK compiled with System V SHM support.
cannot lock down memory for jackd (Operation not permitted)

This is not so good.

On the plus side here, jackd and jackstart run fine as root.  I suppose
I can start jack and my apps as root, but that's just a workaround.  I really
wonder what the heck went wrong here.

Fernando, do you do anything extra to build jackstart other than a
'cd jackd ; make jackstart'?  It doesn't build or install by default, and
I wonder if I've missed something there.

Update: I just pulled the 0.99.0 source from the webpage and built that.
It segfaults just like the 0.99 RPM from the Planet!  Looks like I'm getting
locked into the CVS version, which will be fine if I can unlock the riddle
of jackstart.

Thanks again for the insight.
