Thank you Paul. I'm doing a "svn up" on my main machine instead. In fact 
I was trying the compilation on another computer with minimal 
development library, so i choosed beta7.1.

Let me take this opportunity to report some problems i have seen:

* In beta7.1, among other things, the ardev script is absent. Is it 
intentional? I think it can be useful for people who want to run ardour 
from the installation directory, even if not building from svn.

* In beta7.1 as well as in latest svn, when run from gnome, the GUI is 
nice and standard. But when run from another WM, say fluxbox, the 
non-empty lists look like this:
http://nolv.free.fr/ardour/ardour_blank.png
http://nolv.free.fr/ardour/ardour_blank2.png
Every other parts of the GUI are OK. Note that i have no ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file.

* When embedding a soundfile, it seems that ardour doesn't correctly 
create a peakfile, i get this message over and over when playing or 
moving the mouse over the region:
    [ERROR]: AudioSource: cannot open peakpath 
"/home/ol/tape/test2/peaks/f1.peak" (Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce 
type) (No file or directory of this type)
And, of course the waveform is not displayed in the region.

Bye,
