This turned out to be due to a mistake of mine - I half built ingen 
under debian stable then realised it wasn't going to work and switched 
to a chrooted debian testing system, but forgot to clean the build 
before doing this.

I now have the problem of how to get it to connect to jackd from inside 
the chroot - this fails with the error:

[JackAudioDriver] Unable to connect to Jack.  Exiting.

I'm using 'schroot' to start the chrooted session, and I've already 
checked that it copies /dev properly to inside the chroot:

(testing)andy at monkey:~$ ls /dev/shm
jack-1000

I know this is a bit of an obscure problem but any help would be 
appreciated.
