When you installed Nama, the install script is supposed to create a script called 'nama'. try this: $ find /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin -name nama FWIW, 'nama' is only a stub. So you could create your own. --cut-- #!/usr/bin/env perl use Audio::Nama; Audio::Nama::main(); --cut-- > It then attempts to start, but crashes before i get anywhere > near a gui. Sweet Holy Mother, why are you running Nama if you want a GUI? Any reason to prefer it over something more mainstream such as Audacity? For some reason the first error you reported was much closer to a running Nama that what you're talking about now. If you can get the program started at all, and if you do decide you want Nama's GUI, you could use cpan to install 'Tk', which you'll need for GUI interaction. (Be warned that Nama's GUI doesn't even have a waveform display.) Do you have an extra partition to install a user-friendly distro like Debian or Ubuntu? It might be easier to see if you even like Nama under one of those environments. Typing apt-get install nama is quite convenient. :-) Then apt-get install perl-tk gets the GUI support you want.
