Now go and read that INSTALL file.
JACK is not distributed with a configure script when it is retrieved from CVS, which is typical of about 80% of CVS-based "releases". I know that some people disagree with this, and believe that CVS should include the configure script. I have yet to be convinced by this, but I'm willing. When using a CVS "package", you generally need to run a script, typically called autogen.sh, not try to guess at how to build the configure script yourself. JACK comes with such a script. Finally, although many of the people involved with JACK read LAD, it would be better to send questions about it to [EMAIL PROTECTED], which is members-only to reduce spam. --p
