You should be able to use virmidi as your midi device on linux for 
testing. I have done midi tests on my home machine using a simple 
portmidi app(let) sending and receiving from csound through virmidi. ( 
Have not tried this with csound 5 yet though. )

If anyone knows of a MIDI File Library i would be interested as well.
At present Csound5 is using other people's libraries for audio files,
audio I/O, and I am looking at same for MIDI, but i have not found a
MIDI file library.

BTW I have moved to another machine (SuSE rather than RedHat) but that
does not have any MIDI devices either.  I think i have a machine at the
university with a MIDI device on it, but not sure when i will get time
to use that.

You can alter my little port midi app that just sends opens a port and 
sends a midi note. Attached is the source, this has been tested on my 
gentoo set up with both virmidi and a hardware midi sending a note to 
csound.

Thanks; I had do found virmidi before.  I have built and now csound5
sees MIDI devices.  Now to find out how to drive input to it!
