Ok! I've tried it... But, having everything up and running and installed by default, I don't understand why the GUI interface for JACK retrunes me this error: jackstart: cannot get realtime capabilities, current capabilities are: =ep cap_setpcap-ep probably running under a kernel with capabilities disabled, a suitable kernel would have printed something like "=eip" *********************************************************************** Then, instead of using "jackstart" on Server Path, I tried to use "jackd". The return error was: 19:08:53 JACK was started with PID=12230 (0x2fc6).

This means that I must SU first and then start Ardour... And if I do it, JACK starts but Ardour shuts down with the error: Ardour/GTK 0.377.1 running with libardour 0.685.0 Loading UI configuration file /etc/ardour/ardour_ui.rc Loading system configuration file /etc/ardour/ardour_system.rc Loading user configuration file /etc/ardour/ardour.rc liblrdf: error - - file '/root/.ardour//sfdb' open failed - No such file or directory 12520: received signal 11 ardour is killing itself for a clean exit Killed :-( Carlos On Sun, 2003-12-28 at 18:05, Austin Acton wrote: > On Sun, 2003-12-28 at 12:46, Carlos Santos wrote: > > However, using Mandrake 9.2, I've updated autoconf to 2.5 and it worked > > fine!
