Please check the messages window for more info." You probably have multiple versions of jack installed. Both in /usr and in /usr/local/ Have you by any chance built jackd yourself (without specifying --prefix=/usr to the "configure" script) and installed a version of jackd from your distribution? If yes, you should remove the one you don't want to use. Either remove the package installed from your distribution via rpm or apt-get or whatever your distro uses, or do a "make uninstall" from the jackd source directory you built & installed jackd from.
