Good morning all, Lately there has been some posts from me and others about the lack of a recent version of jack in the debian repos. I tried an approach this week that didn't quite work out, but I think I'm on the right track, and I wanted to see what everyone thought. I installed debian from the net install cd, and installed only the base system. I apt-got (forgive the made-up word) the very basic stuff - xorg, fluxbox, aterm, screen, etc. Then I began to download the most recent version of the applications I use - jack, qjackctl, dssi and brethern, etc. - and things seemed to work okay; I had the most recent versions of most everything I use. Everything was fine until I needed something (can't remember what) that depended on libjack0.100.whatever. I installed it, and things fell apart...apt wanted to install some things, remove others, and essentially everything was f*cked. So where did I go wrong? I've been reading Ken Restivo's blog lately (great blog, b/t/w), and he has actually built debian packages from source of what he needs - is that the solution I'm looking for? Is my approach good or flawed, and what should I do differently? -- Josh Lawrence http://www.hardbop200.com http://www.joshlawrencetrio.com _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-user
