Hello:
I have some good audio resources up and running on Ubuntu Studio
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.

It would help if you could name a few of these utilities. On
Arch I see
quite a few ready-made packages delaing with MIDI on all levels and I
suppose that quite a few of them should be in some Ubuntu-compatible
repository. So actual names might help. There are always some old
packages around in any field. Compiling your own you might also miss
some dependency...
Best wishes,
Jeanette

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.
