I have some good audio resources up and running on

18.04. When I searched for MIDI utilities, what I have found so far is a
bunch of them that can be downloaded and compiled (supposedly). When I
attempt that, so many of them have such cryptic error streams that it
appears that only a highly skilled Linux programmer could get them to
configure, compile, and install properly.
Does anyone know why these resources seem so difficult to get
going? Please comment.
The standard problem on debian/ubuntu/etc systems is that the lib packages
are divided into two packages each. The run binary and the build includes
etc. So if you get a can't find libsample and yet you know libsample is
installed and works, there is probably another package called
libsample-dev. Install that package and try again... and probably install
the next one that is missing. Do remember that sometimes the you will be
missing sample and the package may be called libsample still.
Yup, all good fun in buildland.
