Looking for available audio apps, I installed tk707. There were some problems when starting it from the CLI (couldn't find shared libraries) as below.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ tk707 /usr/bin/tk707bin: error while loading shared libraries: libtk8.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ tk707bin tk707bin: error while loading shared libraries: libtk8.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ su Password: [EMAIL PROTECTED] djmons]# ln -s /usr/lib/libtk8.5.so /usr/lib/libtk8.4.so [EMAIL PROTECTED] djmons]# exit exit [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ tk707 /usr/bin/tk707bin: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ su Password: [EMAIL PROTECTED] djmons]# ldconfig [EMAIL PROTECTED] djmons]# tk707 /usr/bin/tk707bin: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] djmons]# ln -s /usr/lib/libtcl8.5.so /usr/lib/libtcl8.4.so [EMAIL PROTECTED] djmons]# exit As you can see, I created a couple of symlinks, and then starting tk707 again, opened the ports selection window. So far so good. I've got an Audigy2 soundblaster on this machine, and need to load a soundfont to use the hardware synth. I looked for the awesfx package, and jacman shows version 0.5.0d-2 available from the community repo, but installing it with jacman failed (couldn't find the package). I also tried pacman -S awesfx, but again the package couldn't be found. The community repo is uncommented in /etc/pacman.conf, and pacman -Sy shows it on the list of updated databases. Any suggestions as to how I can get the awesfx package? I could use TiMidity to get sounds out of tk707, or Qsynth (If it's available), but being able to load the soundfont for my card is preferable. Thanks for any help, suggestions. Nigel.
