Y try to install Csound after becoming root hitting "sudo bash" on the 
terminal; then Y obtain this alert message: "definitions file is 
missing"
thanks nicola

Are you installing while logged in as yourself 
or as root? (I
understand that on Ubuntu it is harder to become root, 
but ...) Are
you using sudo on the installer?

Y am steel 
in the impossibility of installing Csound 5 in Linux Ubuntu
Dapper for 
AMD64; Y repeat some detail: Y downloaded in www.sorceforge.
net this 
file: Csound5.03-x86_64d.tar.gz
that should have been built
just for 
AMD64; Y tarred them in the
desktop and the tarred file
appeared in the 
/home /myname/ directory. When Y double click the
installer file 
nothing happens, having checked the box on the right in
the top 
("Install in the System files"), and the row of box
off all
kinds of 
files in the left, nothing happens and no file appear in the
directories marked in the istaller.
Y think that every problem arise
from where the files are installed; could you give me accurate
indications having regard to my inexeperience in Linux programming.
