Ardour, Faster, Bigger, Stronger

[Calum]

i installed ardour via rpm (for rh9) i fullfilled all the dependencies using rh9 rpms either using apt, or from the rpm.pbone.net site or else from rpmfind.net or occasionally from sourceforge. anyway. it installed, but now when i try to run it "i get an error"! okay so it complains about not having jack installed, well i do, i installed it via rpm. here's the ugly output for info, anybody installed these programs before? i am a bit out of water here.

edit: hey if i run jackstart i get this:

[calum@harvey calum]$ jackstart
jackstart: cannot get realtime capabilities, current capabilities are:
=ep cap_setpcap-ep
probably running under a kernel with capabilities disabled,
a suitable kernel would have printed something like "=eip"

thanks guys, that helped a lot

(i am only being flippant, i know it's a pretty specific question, and there's not a lot to go on, i didn't really expect anybody to know all the answers to this one).

Sorry Calum. I would have responded but I hate responding with "I don't know". :) I've been so busy lately I haven't had time to dig into this one and it looks like it could take a little digging. You always come up with some good ones!
