Hi John,

I'm very surprised by this. Can you email a copy of your config file:

.config/yoshimi/yoshimi.config

Also, a copy of any instrument file.

However, the fact that you can't load instruments either suggests something has
gone very wrong with MXML (the program that decodes the files).

Also can you let me know what your machine details are. If the worst comes to
the worst, one of us may be able to compile a compatible version for you as an
interim measure.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
