Do what Audacity does and package it ourselves. Seriously, I don't know _anything_ about Ubuntu, but on the surface, any distro that lets a bugged library sit without fix for months without fix just isn't functional. Especially when upstream has, more than likely, fixed the problem in their SCM. It'd be truly minimal work for Ubuntu/Debian, and I know they update various software between major releases, so why not PortAudio? I guess I've been thoroughly spoiled with rolling-release distros. But Enry's right, anyone who installs Mixxx through the Ubuntu package manager GUI isn't going to know to downgrade PortAudio (afaik, anyway) and get random freezes because (perhaps unbeknown to them) their distro is a bit of a stick in the mud. :) Bill ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.
