i believe that the question was answered, but here's one for you: what
is the justification for continuing to use such an ancient version of
Ardour? there are probably 300-400 bugs fixed since then, some of them
very serious ones.
I'm not too keen about updating Fedora 8.
Rest assured :-)
I just recently installed Fedora 14, added the CCRMA-Kernel/Settings and
now I have the best audio-performance I ever saw in any general-purpose
distro I ever used.
If you can afford to be a bit forgiving about security, disable Selinux.
Pulse Audio is smoothly put in the background when you start jackd with
qjackctl. Only if you use a soundcard with an Alsadriver that PA does
not like, you might need to reset volumes after jackd has started (as I
have to with my envy24-cards).
And Ardour2 and Ardour3 build perfectly well from SVN. All dependencies
can be installed with yum...
I did not found any Linux Audio app that could not be installed in F14
-- those, that are not in the repos can be build perfectly well from source.
best of luck :-)

Everything works OK. When I
want to record things it works. I have seen too numerous problems when
doing other updates.
But I would like to get bug fixes and I'm quite interested in trying
out the upcoming new Ardour with MIDI sequencing support.
I used to build my own Linux systems (LFS, BLFS), some 8 years ago, for
both home and work. This is how I started with Linux MIDI. I've seen
some software that is difficult to build, but not that much, all in
all. I have never built Ardour. Are the requierements flexible enough
to make it compile-able using gcc 4.1.2 and GTK 2.0 ? I could be
interested in compiling the latest sources.
Yeah, one of these days I'll have to update the whole system and I'm
sometimes wondering if I wouldn't go back to make my own system instead
of going with one of the distros. I'd like to only have what I need
and nothing else, until it's needed.
