This cannot be true. I just tried it on two different machines, no
problems at all:

>From the code:

bool load_libjack()
{
        void* handle = dlopen("libjack.so", RTLD_LAZY);
        if (NULL == handle) {
                std::cerr << "cannot load JACK library\n";
                return false;
        }

I wonder how dlopen() to libjack.so should fail if you have jackd
installed. You also have the libjack0 package. Does libjack.so show up
on "ldconfig -p"?

Are other jackified apps working well?


Cheerio
