Sorry guys,
but I think I missed the initial part of this thread - I can't
understand what the problem is.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Bye,
andrea

I'm inclined to agree. I know a lot of people are
choosing
Fluxbox because of the low resource overhead.

Perhaps they were static binaries, with all the
libraries
compiled in. Although that's a good way to make sure an
application will install without dependencies, I don't think
it's particularly efficient. In my view, the best solution is a
robust package management system such as apt or urpmi. Apt is
used by both DeMuDi and Planet CCRMA at home, while Thac's RPMs
for Mandrake uses urpmi.

While there is the freedesktop.org initiative for
general users,
I don't think anyone has attempted to set compatibility
standards for Linux audio workstations. At the moment, I'd
expect that most of the adaptation work is falling on the binary
package maintainers.

I'm in 100% agreement with you there!
Cheers
