I'l have another look at Om. Distros are moving ahead using newer libraries, 
and Om will probably build now on some of my later distros. I was mainly 
wanting to try the drum machine that is a plugin for Om. Apologies to the 
author. I've forgotten it's name.

Sorry. I'd neglected to include the dssi plugins, even though Whysynth, 
Hexter, and Sineshaper are staring me in the face from the desktop.

ps:
Anyway. I've got to play Phasex, but only by ssh'ing from FC2 into the other 
machine which has Phasex installed on Debian Etch, and FC5.

If I run it on the machine it's installed on it segfaults, but if I run it via 
ssh from FC2, it works just fine. A bit weird, but at least I can use it.

Nigel.
