I have some applications that depend on jack-0.116. Building and installing the package under /usr or /usr/local I get "unable to connect to jack server as client". Any suggestions welcomed/any chance having jack updated to 0.116.2/.3 in Factory. I am using KDE4, so arts.desktop doesn't exist. The following messages are from qjackctl as shipped in Factory or that I have built locally.

Building jack-0.116.2 with ./configure and make and using checkinstall to generate the rpm's, it just didn't work. SDR (Software Defined Radio) applications need 0.116 and openSUSE only supplies 0.109 packages. So I copied the jack.spec.in file to jack.spec in the sources, tar'd it up as jack-0.116.2.tar.gz rpmbuild -ta jack-0.116.2.tar.gz After some failures due to "unpackaged files found", I changed /usr/lib/rpm/macros - those two lines below from 1 to 0. # Note: The default value should be 0 for legacy compatibility. %_unpackaged_files_terminate_build 0 # # Should missing %doc files in the build directory terminate a build? # # Note: The default value should be 0 for legacy compatibility. %_missing_doc_files_terminate_build 0 It built jack-0.116.2-70.x86_64.rpm libjack0-0.116.2-70.x86_64.rpm libjack-devel-0.116.2-70.x86_64.rpm and jack-example-clients-0.116.2-70.x86_64.rpm All installed with "rpm -Uvh" and qjackctl now works fine as user - no more client connect failures or segfaults. Still gets stuck as root at FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE which I've had no luck with bugzilla or LKML coming up with an answer. Its this box only, the other one works for root as well as user. I shall have a look at the Build Service perhaps on Monday to see if I can get it to build there for anyone needing it. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
