Midi sequencer

Normanya · 06-19-2005, 09:04 PM

Hello,

Linux is quite new for me and I have problem to play MIDI files.

kmid returns : /dev/sequencer is already in use by another program.
kguitar returns : Can't write to MIDI device: No such device or address

What can I do?

Thanks for your help!

OK! I am trying for 2 days to make MIDI works... Not that easy for me. I decided to change my sound driver to ALSA (1.0.9 I also tried 1.0.8). I have some problems to compile it.

#./configure
no pb!

#make
...
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.11'
CC [M] /usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.8rc2/acore/hwdep.o
/bin/sh: scripts/genksyms/genksyms: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [/usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.8rc2/acore/hwdep.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [/usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.8rc2/acore] Error 2
make[1]: *** [_module_/usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.8rc2] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.11'
make: *** [compile] Error 2

I checked :
#ls /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.11/scripts/genksyms
genksyms.c keywords.c_shipped lex.c_shipped Makefile parse.h_shipped
genksyms.h keywords.gperf lex.l parse.c_shipped parse.y

there is no "genksyms" file. What is this thing?

EDIT :

I found a genksyms file sleeping in /sbin/. I copied it were it should be but "make" does not like it :

...
