Quoting J M Needham <J.M.Needham(a)bath.ac.uk>uk>:
I can't start Jack. I tried compiling jack 0.102,
and it wouldn't, but
I'm
getting the following output from jack when attempting to start
it.10:36:32.209 Patchbay deactivated.
10:36:32.298 Statistics reset.
10:36:32.315 Startup script...

What's the problem? It looks as if jack has started just fine.. I'm willing
to guess that no client can connect to it, am I right?
Judging from the command line for jackd, you've build jack by yourself and
installed in /usr/local instead of /usr/ (where the ubuntu/debian package
has installed jack).
This means that you have two versions of jack installed. This causes huge
problems. I suggest you "make uninstall" what you build, and rebuild it
using ./configure --prefix=/usr (followed by whatever options you've chosen
to use).
