[Ardour-Users] Can't compile 2.5

[Doug McLain]

That jack function is part of the time api stuff added in 0.109.0, so 
you need at least 0.109.0.  You should should grab the latest release 
which is 109.2 and concentrate on making it run right.  If ardour 
wouldn't build and jack segfaulted on startup when you tried to install 
the later version, I suspect you had leftovers from earlier version of 
jack laying around.  It's very important to make sure that older 
versions of jack are completely removed when upgrading.  That means no 
jack libs in /lib, /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib; no headers in /usr/include 
or /usr/local/include, and no jack bins in any of the bin paths.  If you 
are installing jack from some sort of package, still make sure no old 
version s are lying around, and then install both the jack package and 
its -devel package.
