HI Lars. I'm having a lot of problems getting Sineshaper installed on FC2 or FC3. The dependencies go back as far as libsigc++-2.0.15. This installs ok, but as the site has no devel package for it, I have no .pc file for pkgconfig to find. Could you tell me what distro you're running Sineshaper on, and how to handle the dependencies. The dependencies end at libsigc++-2.0.15, then, glibmm-2.8.0, then gtkmm-2.8.0, then, libglademm-2.6.0, then. Sineshaper-0.4.0. I'm not complaining. I'd just like to get it working as some reports say it has a unique sound. All the best. Nigel.
