Hi,

I downloaded the Csound5.01-i386d.tar.gz from sourceforge, and
ran the installer.  I chose the 'system files' install, and click
all of the boxes, and also in the second popup box.

The installation was successful, and csound runs, but I need
some help.

WARNING: could not open library '/usr/local/csound/libpmidi.so' (-1)
WARNING: could not open library '/usr/local/csound/librtalsa.so' (-1)
WARNING: could not open library '/usr/local/csound/librtjack.so' (-1)
WARNING: could not open library '/usr/local/csound/librtpa.so' (-1)

There were many .so files in this directory, but these were missing.
I had attempted a compile previously, and doing a locate for libpmidi.so
I found one in /usr/local/lib/csound/plugins64.  The other missing files
were also there.  I copied the four files to /usr/local/csound, which
seems to be where csound wanted them, but I still get the warnings,
and I can't open my midi device:

error: -+rtmidi='PortMIDI': unknown module

Also, where is OPCODEDIR supposed to point?  I tried a few
different directories, but nothing seems to change.


Thanks,

Toby

Oh right, I actually had that answered once before, sorry.

Not sure if there is a way to install rpm's on Gentoo.

It's still active.

I found this web entry-point for it:

Can anyone who is fluent in the language investigate further?
