The "Ubuntu page" is a general page on how to install Reaktor. It is: http://whiteelephantaudio.com/installing-reaktor-linuxubuntu/ The system is 64-bit Linux Mint 17. > Ubuntu: > 32-bit, seemingly not intended for 64-bit Yes, it looks like it is dependant on a specific arch version. In this case I installed the 32 dev package and it went OK ... Until it does not find -ljack. Now I'm a little bit weary about making the system non functional by installing a package that could joyfully remove others. It happened before with the original dssi-vst who removed jamin in its installation. That was not nice. A bit later a colleague at work figured it out and submitted a patch. It had to do with lack of multilib support. Nevertheless, during installation it removed jamin just like that. Now, if I start to add 32-bit devel packages, will it ever at one poitn decide to remove other packages ? Or are the 32-bit packages, to the contrary of a lack of multilib support, able to fully co-exist within the 64-bit system that is, not in theory but according to the Debian/Ubuntu packaging people ? I would like to slowly move towards compiling 'everything' from upstream. In the meanwhile I have installed the dssi-vst package and can run Reaktor.
