Is there
a way to get 0.107 working with clients compiled against
older versions of jack?
Failing that, would I be able to get all these apps to work again
against the new version of jack if I simply build my own packages
from source debs, or would I run into further trouble?
yes start a jack client
that is not working from the command line see what
version of jack it is trying to connect to find that file
libjack-[something].so and remove it - replace it with a symlink to version
you just installed.
Its a dirty hack but it seems to work often enough.
This is even more a trick from the
hope-you-know-what-you-are-doing-department.
actually, its from
hope-you-know-what-you-are-doing-department-and-sorry-you-run-debian
department.
i have absolutely nothing personal against the debian JACK packager, but
words cannot begin to express the appalling state of affairs that the
misguided addition of -VERSION to the JACK library name has caused for
Debian users of JACK, along with most Ubuntu and other
derived-distributions. i would say we see at least 1-2 people per week
on the #ardour IRC channel who face the problem caused by this decision.
Even though it has been fixed now, its effects will linger on for at
least another year, perhaps even more. its a very frustrating thing for
me as a JACK developer to see different people bumping into this over
and over again, a situation that makes it appear that JACK has design
problems when all it really suffers from is a package design error.
I am very glad it has been fixed!
Would recommending that people upgrade to sid solve this problem?
