Istvan-

Thanks for all of your suggestions. The next free moment at the computer I 
will try the various packages, as I am eager to see Csound5 working for me.
I will also post any error messages I get when trying to use it--I haven't 
until now because at least in one of the 2 cases there wasn't any--the rtalsa 
driver just seemed to close without a message other than the usual "x bytes 
sent dac" that csound gives at the end of a performance. But if it helps you 
to see the screen, I will post that when I have another issue.

Also, I appreciate your willingness to consider arbitrary MIDI streams from 
user-selected /dev devices in the next release...

As for compiling, when a compile doesn't work for me, I think of it as an itch 
that needs scratching; I get curious as to why it doesn't work for me, even 
if the easier solution would be to get a pre-compiled binary package. Cal it 
obsessive-compulsive behavior at work.

Thanks,
Aaron.
