  Anyway. I end up with an executable ams. When I run

 ./ams: error while loading shared libraries: libjack.so.0: cannot open

 I have that in /usr/local/lib/libjack.so.0 so creating this link appears
 to help:
 box1:/usr/lib# ln -s /usr/local/lib/libjack.so.0 libjack.so.0
 Is that the correct sollution? 
No, delete that link then try running ldconfig as root, if that doesn't
work, check your /etc/ld.so.conf includes /usr/local/lib.
  box1:/home/eric/audio_code/ams-1.5.5# ./ams
 ams: cannot connect to X server
 I assume this is because X is running as me (eric) and not as root. I'll
 try getting out of X and starting it as root as soon as I finish writing
 this message. But, is there a way to let root connect to the X server
 that's running as eric? 
Run "xhost + localhost" as you to allow root to connect, there is a cleaner
way involving cookies, but I cant remeber it. I'm supprised your
distribution doesn't set that up automatically.
  Do those of you running jackd as root also run your X
session as root? 
No.
