Well I recompiled from the latest sources (version 0.9.6), and I have a 
somewhat different problem now:

<snip output>
spawning audio thread
registering jack interface
Rescheduled thread: 95
initialising one arp2600
return - no data in buffer
exit algo: 0, 5dba20, 0
/home/larry/bin/startBristol: line 302:  8511 Segmentation fault 
brighton $ * -engine
<snip output>

First, let me say that a complication is 
that  my jack headers don't exactly match my libjack version. My libjack 
is 0.102 (installed as a debian package), and the headers are 0.101. 
Debian/64studio seems to have packages available for libjack 0.102 but 
the libjack-devel is only at 0.101. Hence to attempt to get going with 
compiling apps, I simply downloaded the 0.101 devel package and unpacked 
it. Dangerous, I know, but I'm not sure that this is the cause of my 
problem, because I got a warning during compilation that seems odd:

In brightonMixerMemory.c, there is a waring about a cast from pointer to 
integer of different size (remember that I'm running 64 bits). Is this a 
cause for alarm? Perhaps brighton doesn't work in 64  bits? Or do I need 
to look elsewhere?
