With SuSE 8.2 it's a bit tricky, as the version of JACK included is old enough that some recent applications won't even compile with it (as it doesn't include the new transport API etc). But if you install a newer JACK for the purposes of building newer apps, you'll get into trouble with any JACK-based apps already installed that were built against the old one, because they aren't compatible at the protocol level. I would probably recommend uninstalling the SuSE JACK package and everything that depends on it, and going for the 0.90 release instead. In my experience the packaged audio apps often don't work as well as any you might build yourself anyway (e.g. the Rosegarden-4 package doesn't work for me as supplied in either SuSE 8.2 or 9.0 -- on 8.2 you unfortunately need to do "CXXFLAGS=-O0 ./configure" to build Rosegarden without optimisation to work around a compiler bug). > Hi, I`m working with suse 8.2, I try to patch the suse kernel but > that don`t work.

So it's possible they have some of the patches. Chris
