  Is anyone working on this: http://www.ircam.fr/equipes/repmus/OpenMusic?
    Apparently they GPL'd the sources, and you can download it, but it's
  written in Lisp, and MCL PPC Lisp at that.  However, as they put it:
  "At the beginning, this will make sense only to people owning the
  Digitool compiler. Although we are conscious that this limitation does
  not fit clearly into the GPL framework, we think that making the sources
  available is an oppurtunity to raise collaborations leading to new
  versions of OM that would depend only on open sources compiler,
  particularly on linux platforms"
  I did speak with some Ircam people at Darmstadt this past summer, and I
  don't think they really have the interest in doing the port themselves.
   However, Ircam certainly isn't anti-Linux, so they might be
  able/willing to help/be persuaded to work on it.  (François, and
  Norbert, if you're on this list, feel free to comment.)

Until now, we did'nt have the internal resources to develop a full
linux version of OpenMusic. However a fragmental prototype of
OM/Linux based on cmucl had been developed by Camilo Rueda and his
team at Cali Univsersity in Colombia. See

Things are changing now, thanks to the Agnula (A GNU Linux Audio
Distribution) project. This project is funded by the European
Commission, coordinated by Tempo Reale in Florence, and involves
Ircam (coordinator : Francois Dechelle) as a partner. See
http://www.agnula.org/
Thanks to Francois Dechelle's support, we may now envision the
integration of OmLinux in the following monthes, as well as the
definition of a coherent development strategy between OMLinux and
OM/OsX.
More info to come soon...
