Hello,
Yes. When compiling (e.g. jamin) you have to make sure the compile sees the headers and libraries that belong to the distribution's version of JACK (libjack0.80.0-0 and jackd). You have to install libjack0.80.0-dev and make sure you don't have any traces of a previous local install of jack (maybe in /usr/local) left.
I gave it a try, it works :)I guess I had some old files installed from a previous attempt that I had not removed.
