I've used all ebuilds for the perl modules, and only used cpan for nama itself. (Gentoo to the rescue....:) ) This was an experiment to access the ecasound engine with something i could manipulate fairly quickly as a user. Text mode is as useable as a gui, so i have something to work with. Thanks for the clues, they helped. I'll ask the pro-audio overlay team if they can consider adding Nama to the overlay, then it's even easier.
