Can't emerge ardour

[gnardog777]

Hey guys, I've been trying to emerge ardour, but it's failing to work. It compiles just fine, but I'm getting a couple weird python-ish errors when it installs (I don't know how else to describe them). Here is the output of the installation:

Code: Select all

>>> Installing (1 of 1) media-sound/jack-3.1.1
 * Compilation and optimization of Python modules for CPython 2.7 ...    [ !! ]
 *     SyntaxError: ('invalid syntax', ('/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/jack_functions.py', 222, 25, 'def starts_with(str, with):n'))

>>> Recording media-sound/jack in "world" favorites file...

 * Messages for package media-sound/jack-3.1.1:

 * Syntax errors / warnings in Python modules for CPython 2.7:

I also went to the website to see if there were dependencies that emerge hadn't installed (just to be sure), but all the dependencies had been correctly installed. [/code]

This is a bug, not in ardour however but in media-sound/jack

It was fixed in =media-sound/jack-3.1.1-r1, just add it to /etc/portage/package.keywords and update world.

Ok, well it turns out I was wrong. I needed Jack1 and not Jack2, so I did emerge jack-audio-connection-kit. However, now it's not connecting to the Jack server, and it told me to add a certain line to /etc/security/limits.conf, and I did, but it still refuses to work.

Please specify in detail what error message you get and which lines you inserted in limits.conf
