[Ardour-Users] Ardour dependency dance,

[Henry W. Peters]

Thanks All for replies, suggestions, etc.,

I got some advise from someone on the GTK list... try 'make uninstall,' 
& after I remembered you cd to the directory the 'make' file is in (easy 
for me to forget this command in the heat of the uncertainties of a 
relatively new setup), it worked very well, & after the usual .dev 
file/s not installed, were found & installed, Ardour 2.84 got built & 
installed.

First step accomplished, though I still have sound input from my spdif 
input issues (!!). I'll work at it, but I may be back here around this 
now, chronic problem (& I even tried it out in my xfce desktop 
environment, where supposedly Pulse audio is not supposed to be utilized).

Thanks again.

Henry
