But looking in /usr/lib/pkgconfig on FC4, well, it's a good excuse for me to learn about compilation - something i should understand by now, but which i've been able to put off for years thanks to Fernando. perhaps my struggle with this will, in the long run, make me more useful to the community. > I looked on FC4, but it's not available according to synaptic.

It's worked really well for me on FC1 and FC3, using the low-latency kernel from CCRMA and an M-Audio Delta 66. I do recall a lot of crashes with the version previous to the one currently in CCRMA. I suspect it breaks some rules jack has regarding real-time safe applications, but it's tended to get away with it on my systems. cpu load has been rather heavy, though, and i baby the system while it's running (wouldn't dream of loading even 'xcalc' while it's going.) > It would be good to find out from the author which distro he developed it on, > and maybe installing that, if you have a free partition. Just be nice to see > how well freewheeling works on the distro it was developed on. a good recommendation, which i'll follow up on at some point. my suspicion now, based on http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20060104.070641.a9e4abf8.en.html is that there's simply something wrong with fedora's libgnutls-dev installation. this my current lead. :) -- daneasley@xxxxxxxxx dan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx dan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://towndowner.com http://burntpossum.com
