As far as I know, Csound and Fluidsynth are always installed independently
-- certainly on Linux -- and I think the API has remained compatible
over its versions.  Certainly if Csound works with a version that handles
SF3s (as Menno has shown) that must be so.

The error message you got is not in Csound, anyway.  I've searched! (:-))
I've also been looking at the current fluidsynth 2.1 source (hoping it
might be buildable on my system -- not as yet...),  and it doesn't seem to
have any option *not* to handle sf3 files.  It just knows about them
automatically.

Maybe that error message was in some fluidsynth version when they were
intending to implement sf3 but hadn't yet.  What's ther version number
on your libtary?
