I managed to emerge ardour without a problem. However, when I try to run it as "root" (it can't find jack unless I'm root) I get the following error message:

I'm aware that there isn't a /usr/local/music/src/ardour/ directory. However even if I were to create one I have no idea how to create an ardour_ui.rc file. All of the documentation I can find assumes that this file can be found in the src. However, since I'm new to gentoo and portage, I'm not sure where to look for it.

Anyone know how to set this up?

1. you must run jackd as user, so ardour can find it.
2. you must copy /usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src/ardour/ardour/ardour_ui.rc to /usr/share/ardour/ardour_ui.rc
3. you must copy /usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src/ardour/ardour/ardour.rc to $HOME/.ardourrc (be careful with the filename change here)

There you go... (I hope)

Regards

Excuse me and my ignorance, but how did you get ardour to emerge ???
Code:

bash-2.05b$ emerge -p ardour-cvs

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild    U ] media-libs/libpng-1.0.15 [1.2.5-r4]
[ebuild  N   ] media-gfx/graphviz-1.8.10 
[ebuild  N   ] app-doc/doxygen-1.2.16 
[blocks B    ] media-sound/jack-audio-connection-kit (from pkg media-sound/jack-cvs-0.44)
[ebuild  N   ] media-sound/jack-cvs-0.44 
[ebuild  N   ] media-libs/raptor-0.9.8 
[ebuild  N   ] media-libs/liblrdf-0.2.3 
[ebuild    U ] media-libs/alsa-lib-0.9.0_rc7 [0.9.0_rc6]

[ebuild  N   ] media-libs/libsamplerate-0.0.14 
[ebuild  N   ] media-sound/ardour-cvs-0.6 



jack-audio-connection-kit appears to block ardour, and jack-cvs appears to be a dependacy ... please help ....

I got emboldened by everyone's success compiling ardour-cvs. I unmerged jack-audio-connection-kit successfully. I reset ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" in make.conf, emerged rsync, and emerged ardour-cvs. The first five or six installs went fine, but jack-cvs-0.44 yields this:

>> emerge (1 of 3) media-sound/jack-cvs-0.44 to /
>>> Unpacking source...
* Running cvs -q -f -z4 update -dP -rHEAD with cvs.jackit.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jackit for jack/...
cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)

!!! ERROR: media-sound/jack-cvs-0.44 failed.
!!! Function cvs_fetch, Line 303, Exitcode 1
!!! died running cvs update

Is the problem at my end of the line or at the cvs?

Thanks, John

jouzts: I would guess that the problem was at the server end, and someone will fix it soon, largely cos it says end of file from server

but I have the origonal problem now, and with jackd runing as user ...

Code:

bash-2.05b$ find / -name ardour_ui.rc 2>/dev/null
/usr/share/ardour/ardour_ui.rc
bash-2.05b$ ardour

I also tried:

Code:

/usr/local/music/src/ardour/ardour_ui.rc
/usr/share/ardour/ardour_ui.rc

Code:

/usr/share/ardour/pixmaps/rec-enable-button01.xpm
/usr/share/ardour/pixmaps/rec-enable-button02.xpm


so I guess I need to know how you got ardour to see the images ...

also
Code:

 cat /usr/local/music/src/ardour/ardour_ui.rc |grep \.xpm

produces nothing ... but then I don't really know if it should ...

thanks for any help you can give me ...

Ed
