Thanks David. I downloaded Swami, and tried to build it, but got some errors (it looks like an object file is not being linked). I sent a message about this to the swami-devel list but have not recieved anything back. Here is a brief snippet of make output: SwamiUIGenGraph.o: In function `swamiui_gengraph_update_control': /home/ldb/src/work/swami/src/gui/SwamiUIGenGraph.c:571: undefined reference to `norm_gen' /home/ldb/src/work/swami/src/gui/SwamiUIGenGraph.c:544: undefined reference to `norm_gen_val' /home/ldb/src/work/swami/src/gui/SwamiUIGenGraph.c:550: undefined reference to `norm_gen_val' [more of the same...] SwamiUIGenGraph.o:/home/ldb/src/work/swami/src/gui/SwamiUIGenGraph.c:526: more undefined references to `norm_gen' follow /usr/bin/ld: SwamiUIGenGraph.o(.debug_info+0x16914): unresolvable relocation against symbol `instp_sample_data_list' /usr/bin/ld: SwamiUIGenGraph.o(.debug_info+0x16ab2): unresolvable relocation against symbol `swami_wavetbl_temp_bank' [more of the same...] Any ideas? -- Levi Burton Programmer/Musician http://www.puresimplicity.net/~ldb/
