I've got Sineshaper working on Debian Sarge thanks to a lot of help. Libglademm-2.4-dev needed the following deps. pkg-config, libglib 2.0-dev, libatk 1.0-dev, libexpat 1-dev, libfreetype 6-dev, libfontconfig1-dev, libxft-dev, libpango 1.0-dev, libgtk2.0-dev, libxml2-dev, libglade2-dev, libsigc++-2.0-0, libglibmm-2.4-1, libgtkmm-2.4-1, libglademm-2.4-1, libsigc++-2.0-dev, libglibmm-2.4-dev, libgtkmm-2.4-dev. I'd like to say that I'm very happy with FC1, 2, and 3, with audio apps from planetccrma. I'm going to DL FC4, but as FC3 took me 5 days on dialup to DL the iso's, I have to psych myself up a bit for another 5 days worth. Sineshaper is a really nice synth, but it's not worth pushing yourself into mental overload to get it to work on Fedora. Thanks for all your work on the audio apps. Nigel.
