Hello all - first post here. I trying to move to Linux after years with Cakewalk/Cubase/etc. I have been recently inspired to get into csound, using Rosegarden or seq24 to drive it. First. Thanks to Emmanuel. The page is a great resource. I had been using Demudi, but the error the loading snd-virmidi module made me look for alternatives. So now I am using Debian testing. I have followed the directions on the Emmanual's page (compiled kernel, realtime-lsm module, etc) but, but when I try to configure jack: #./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-posix-shm --with-default-tmpdir=/mnt/ramfs I get: Build support for ALSA.........false (or something similar, I am at work now) #cat /proc/asound/cards returns info about my card, and I am fairly sure I have alsa set up correctly.(alsamixer and aconnect seem to work fine) any ideas why jack configure is not detecting ALSA? where is it looking? (i have /usr/src/linux linked to /usr/src/linux-2.6.14.2 and config file is there). I have booted to the new 2.6.14.2 kernel. Any help is appreciated. -Brian Hennessey __________________________________ Yahoo! FareChase: Search multiple travel sites in one click. http://farechase.yahoo.com
