 If you have all the dependencies installed, you should be able to 
 compile & install the latest sfizz with:

 git clone --recursive "https://github.com/sfztools/sfizz-ui.git"
 cmake \
      -B sfizz-build \
      -S sfizz-ui \
      -W no-dev \
      -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
      -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
      -D CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=17
 cmake --build sfizz-build --verbose
 cmake --install sfizz-build

  by alternating the 2 filenames I avoid the
crashes. 
 If you have both files in the same directory, the load next/previous SFZ 
 buttons in the UI (to the right of the name of the currently loaded SFZ) 
   make that especially quick. 
Regarding the last point: I find that using the right/left arrow buttons almost always
causes sfizz to crash!  Previously I was usng the lv2 version of sfizz; I have now tried
the vst3 version, but with similar results.

So I decided to try to install the latest git version of sfizz, using your very helpful
step-by-step instructions.  Unfortunately the first cmake command produces this error:

       Package 'jack', required by 'virtual:world', not found

I certainly have the jack server running on my computer, and QjackCtl shows it to be
working OK.  No package called simply 'jack' seems to exist in the regular Ubuntu
Studio repositories, so I'm not sure what to do about it.  Any suggestions?
