Thanks for that Chris.  Unfortunately, when I tried that I got the following errors:

error: open of librosegarden0-4-arts-0.9.1-2mdk.i586.rpm failed: No such file or directory
error: open of rosegarden-4-arts-0.9.1-2mdk.i586.rpm failed: No such file or directory
error: open of libjack0-0.50.0-3mdk.i586 failed: No such file or directory

I have the first two files in file:/home/david/RoseGarden/, but I don't have 'libjack0-0.50.0-3mdk.i586'.  Should I go find that somewhere ?
As you can tell, I'm very green at this sort of thing... :-[

Thanks
Dave

Hi there,
I'm having some fun (not) trying to install a program.  Is anyone able
to help ?
It's a music notation/MIDI composer called RoseGarden.  I'm using
Mandrake 9.1.

I've downloaded the following RPM's:

rosegarden-4-arts-0.9.1-2mdk.i586.rpm


I right-click on 'rosegarden-4-arts-0.9.1-2mdk.i586.rpm' and select
'Software Installer'.
I then get this message:
***
To satisfy dependencies, the following packages are going to be
installed (6 MB):
libjack0-0.50.0-3mdk.i586
rosegarden-4-arts-0.9.1-2mdk.i586

Is this OK?
***

I click on OK, and a few seconds later get this message:
***
Conflicts were detected:

librosegarden0-4-arts = 0.9.1 is needed by rosegarden-4-arts-0.9.1-2mdk
libRosegardenSequencer.so.0 is needed by rosegarden-4-arts-0.9.1-2mdk

Install aborted
***

I'm stuck at this point.  I assume ' librosegarden0-4-arts' is the RPM I
downloaded (above).  I can't find ' libRosegardenSequencer.so.0'
anywhere.  I've Googled hi and lo, and found nothing helpful.
I've tried installing 'librosegarden0-4-arts' first, but it complains
that it needs 'rosegarden0-4-arts', so I'm going round in circles...

Any advice/ideas gratefully received !
    

You have been introduced to the hell of RPM package management.

try opening a shell ( command line screen ) and type:-

rpm -Uvh librosegarden0-4-arts-0.9.1-2mdk.i586.rpm \
rosegarden-4-arts-0.9.1-2mdk.i586.rpm \
libjack0-0.50.0-3mdk.i586

you will be told about any other .rpm files needed,
I cannot tell what's needed as I do not know what is
installed already.

my guess is that you will need the alsa library and drivers
and possibly something called ladspa-cmt-1.15 whatevcer that is.
add them to the list above and re-run the rpm command.
Don't forget the '\' at the end of the line except the last one.

There is a wealth of audio stuff at:-

hth, have fun.
