since you are obviously willing and able to compile ardour, why not 
check out jack svn and build it yourself? it's comparatively easy.
the only thing you need to do is either uninstall your distro's jack 
package *or* just overwrite it by using "configure --prefix=/usr".
having  both a distro jack in /usr and a custom one in /usr/local has 
caused a lot of trouble for many people...

overwriting the distro jack might break some audio stuff from the 
distro, though. but you can always undo it by re-installing the jack 
package.
