Hi David. Thanks for the help. I also looked back on a reply from Dave
Phillips, which said almost the same.
I now have Azr3 running, and playing ok on Fedora 8. Azr3 wouldn't compile on
Debian Etch, but I'll try on my Lenny install. I know it compiles on Sid, as
Dave Phillips confirmed it, but Sid's a bit too near to the edge for me.
Some time later, and dependency problems on Lenny. An apt-get update/apt-get
get dist-upgrade shows some 292MB of updates, so It's going to be at least
18hrs on dialup before I can try the Azr3 compile again. 2 of the dep
complaints were libgtkmm, and liblash, and I see they are are being upgraded.
I tried to install the devel packages for these, but probably because there
are are new versions of these packages waiting to be installed, the devel
versions of the current installed packages are no longer available, and is
why apt-get was complaining it couldn't find them.
Being on dialup, I'm used to being very patient, so I'll see how it goes.
I also have Archlinux installed on the same machine, and the updates to the
latest package versions are quite impressive. I'll have a quick look, and see
if Azr3 will run on that without too many problems.
Thanks as always for the help that comes from the folks on the list.
Nigel.

Hi Dave. Would you care to share the procedure in compiling it? I too
would like to try Azr3. I 've looked at alsaseq2jackmidi.c, but don't see
what I need to do to compile it, then run it.
Call me clueless if you like. Current Debian Sid jack version do not yet
support -X so you need
aseq2jackmidi to use it. Or else you must compile jack from more
recent versions.
The URL for the alsaseq bridge is on a recent post to LUA. If you
like, I can simply send you the source file off list. There is no
make, simply compile as instructed in the program comments!
Thanks, David. I roused myself to search the archives and found the
sources. Built it, ran it, it shows up in the MIDI tab in QJackCtl. So
far, so good. I'll check out Lars' AZR3 port asap.
Best,
