Hi Mathew. Thanks for the info. With liblo-devel installed by apt-get I now 
can run ./configure to completion on FC2 & FC3. On FC2, make runs ok and then 
make install installs whysynth so that I can start it off the command line 
once jack is started from qjackctl. Theres still a problem on FC3 though, as 
make stops with errors, as below.

checking MODULE_LIBS... -llo -lpthread
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating src/Makefile
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: config.h is unchanged
config.status: executing depfiles commands
[root@localhost whysynth-20051005]# make
cd . && /bin/sh /home/djmons/Whysynth/whysynth-20051005/missing --run 
aclocal-1.7
aclocal: configure.ac: 32: macro `AM_PATH_GTK' not found in library
make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 1

I'm not sure what to make of this, but at least I've got whysynth working on 
FC2. I'm not pushing the Smack drum machine problem and it's "om" and "omins" 
deps at the moment. I tried "om" again and it's complaining that it needs a 
later version of liblo, "0.22", and only version "0.18-1" is on FC2 and FC3. 
Thanks again for the help. Nigel.
