The JACK devs say that you should LEAVE your jack package in-tact and overwrite it. $ tar xzf jack-audio-connection-kit-0.116.1.tar.gz$ cd jack-audio-connection-kit-0.116.1$ ./configure --prefix=/usr### MAKE SURE IT ENABLED FFADO OR FREEBOB... whichever one you want.$ make$ sudo make install To do it without overwriting the distro's package (using --prefix=/usr/local) is a little more involved, and if I tell you to do that I may receive unbearable scorn from Paul Davis (the lead JACK dev).
