It's not so much that you have an old version, as that you have
a rather different program altogether.

Generally when anyone on this list refers to Rosegarden they're
likely to be talking about Rosegarden-4, which is a newer and far
more sophisticated application that doesn't even have much code in
common with Rosegarden-2.1.

 but it should compile out-of-the-box on SuSE 8.1 (the
majority of
core Rosegarden developers use SuSE). 
Being (still somewhat) new to all this, I'm not sure if this is off limits. But I will
take a chance. I want to say that SuSE has proven to be a really exellent distrob for
Multimedia. And it has consistantly delivered what it promises (when you install a
program, it useually works right). Any problems I've had running programs have come
from lack of experience.

Did I just start a Religious war with that statement?

the odd extra package but nothing that isn't on the SuSE CDs.

Great information. I guess you've helped "soften me up" about the biggest
part of trying out new (or newer versions of) programs (the compiling headeachs).

I'm sure I will eventually download it and get it going. I have so many other progams
that I'm trying out right now though.

Thanks,
Rocco
