Hey, thanks
Erik! This ^^ did the trick... and then it choked on
'sndfile'. So I got that and compiled it... And then it choked
on 'ladcca' so I got that and compiled it... and then it worked.
Or at least it compiled and I brought it up with JACK and made
connections with 'qjackctl'.
Which is why so many people prefer Debian, AGNULA and DeMuDi which
have many more pre-packaged audio apps that the standard Suse/Redhat/
Mandrake etc.
Additional options: Thac's RPMs for Mandrake (
http://rpm.nyvalls.se),
AudioSlack for Slackware (
http://www.audioslack.com), Planet CCRMA for
RedHat/Fedora (
http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/), TurnKey
many are fans Gentoo and emerge, and so on and so forth...
