Ardour3-3.5.357-i686 Compiled in Precise 5.6.1

[Griot]

Hello scabz/RHS.
I've downloaded Ardour3-3.5.357-i686-Precise_5.7.1.sfs but can't make it work. If I'm not mistaken, this .sfs is all I need, no missing dependencies after loading it? FWIW I'm using 5.7.1 PAE. Thanx.

Griot sorry for the late reply havent been hitting up the forum much lately.

open up terminal and type "/usr/bin/ardour3" without quotes, then tell me what error it puts out. Ardour should work unless no one has posted it doesnt besides you there could be something conflicting with it dont know what all you installed and i have never tested it on precise 5.7.1 only 5.6.1 cuzz thats what i use.

finally got my wisdom tooth out and i feel great, i was on the edge of suicide for a long time there. Infected wisdom tooth and bad TMJ not a good combo but am good now and heavy sedated.

Hello scabz. Glad to hear you're getting better. It seems like I have less available memory than expected.

Any solution to this? Thanx.

looks like you didnt install the Pets needed for precise 5.7.1 from my post, please reread my post and install needed pets. the sfs should have the pets added but you need libglibmm which is the 2nd pet for precise 5.7.1 in my post.

if you read the posts above it tell you how to fix the memory thing, it is not a error or will hurt it will still run.

[Griot]

Yup, I haven't understood that the .pets are also needed. Gonna test it tomorrow. Thank you, scabz.

Thank you scabz! I was using Studio One in Windows, and Ardour seems a good choice for Linux.
Does anyone know how to install plugins? I found some LADSPA plugins to download but how do I get Ardour to find them?

Thank you

Hans
