[LAU] aeolus, compiled and repos

Hello, All-- i'm running Ubuntu Studio 16.04, for starters. The Aeolus that came with the distro simply closes upon starting. It also crashes patchage when doing so. i really got no error, not even a seg fault, except that the terminal told me that Aeolus couldn't read ~/.aeolus-presets. So, i went to the website and downloaded the latest version. After compiling. Aeolus would start, but no stops are displayed. The terminal tells me, "Can't open 'stops/Aeolus/definition' for reading." This is very unfortunate. A few years ago, i gave a temperament lecture and relied heavily on Aeolus. i'd like to know that i can give it again. Any help would be appreciated. Take care, tom
