problem emerging ardour-cvs

I'm trying to get a few music apps happening on my gentoo box.

I have rosegarden compiled, but each time I open it, it crashes. It still "works" but crashes in the background.

so now I'm trying ardour, and it needs jack-cvs 0.7 as a dependency, but when I try and emerge it I get the following error

hope it's not something stupid like the server's busy :S

then again that would be a simple fix

Go find jack-cvs in the media-sound i think. Then emerge that separately from the ardour. Then go emerge ardour-cvs, and it works. I have yet to run the program though but everything compiles.

I get "connection refused" messages too (trying sf-cvs).
Just wait or try a jack release from their site and after that inject the ebuild with "emerge -i".
That way portage will build ardour because it "thinks" it has emerged jack before.

Oh I read it wrong. Yeah, the cvs server seems to be down or something because I am trying it again and it doesn't seem to work. Last night, I know it worked.

I reemerged jack and ardour a couple of days ago.

hehehe,
always a plaesure to give some help. Feature freeze has started. ardour-1.0.0-rc1 is on its way. knowing Paul Davis ethichs, this will be a nicely working piece of software.
Big up the ardour-dev team.

now that I have ardour emerged, how do I start jackd ?

and can I run it like a service in a certain run level?

ta!

sweeet

and I run that seperately, every time I wanna run ardour ?

I run jackd as root, and this is what I get

You need to set the correct path to the ardour pixmaps in your ~/.ardourrc file.
The relevant section in mine looks like this:

I'm not sure exactly cause it has been a long time since i had to set up ardour, but i think you just need to give it a path.
And be carefull, the session directory can get very big very quickly.
