Hi Phil: I don't know what to do either, being no expert programmer. Hopefully the package maintainer is reading this list, and can fix the package. It looks like you're using a qtractor package from the Fedora rawhide repository, though, and you're running Fedora 12. That in itself shouldn't be a problem, but you might consider installing the RPM Fusion repository and using the qtractor package available from there. This is what I've been using in F12 to write the Guide, and I've had no problems. So something like... 1.) yum remove qtractor 2.) Follow the instructions here: http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration 3.) yum install qtractor (I've got 0.4.6-1.fc12, which is the same version) Of course, RPM Fusion is a non-Fedora repository, so there are added risks when you use their packages. The Qtractor chapter doesn't yet have a completed first draft, but when it does, it will be listed on this page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Crantila/FSC/Drafts Good luck! Christopher.
