Joel, After a complete cleanout and start again, nama is up and running.
I've used all ebuilds for the perl modules, and only used cpan for
nama itself. (Gentoo to the rescue....:) )
This was an experiment to access the ecasound engine with something i
could manipulate fairly quickly as a user. Text mode is as useable as
a gui, so i have something to work with.
Thanks for the clues, they helped.
I'll ask the pro-audio overlay team if they can consider adding Nama
to the overlay, then it's even easier.
Alex.

I'd appreciate the help! Nama won't start
unless i cd to the dir it's
in, and i can only start it with
perl Nama.pm
That's not quite enough to run Nama, but seems to be
enough to show your system has some configuration issues.
When you installed Nama, the install script is supposed to
create a script called 'nama'.
try this:
$ find /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin -name nama
FWIW, 'nama' is only a stub. So you could create your own.
--cut--
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use Audio::Nama;
Audio::Nama::main();
--cut--
It then attempts to start, but crashes before i
get anywhere
near a gui.
Sweet Holy Mother, why are you running Nama if you want a
GUI?
Any reason to prefer it over something more mainstream
such as Audacity?
For some reason the first error you reported was much
closer to a running Nama that what you're talking
about now.
If you can get the program started at all,
and if you do decide you want Nama's GUI, you could
use cpan to install 'Tk', which you'll need for
GUI interaction.
(Be warned that Nama's GUI doesn't even have a waveform
display.)
Do you have an extra partition to install a user-friendly
distro like Debian or Ubuntu?
It might be easier to see if you even like Nama under one of
those environments. Typing
apt-get install nama
is quite convenient. :-)
Then
apt-get install perl-tk
gets the GUI support you want.
Best,
Joel
