Trying to install Non-sequencer in Ubuntu

Hi, first post. I'm new to Linux and I haven't really done any difficult installations before. Non-sequencer requires JACK to be installed, and even though it is, "make" is failing:

Checking sanity...-e ok
--- Configuration required
:: Installation prefix? [/usr/local]
:: Use the LASH Audio Session Handler? [yes]
:: Build for debugging? [no]
Checking for FLTK...-e ok (1.1.9)

Checking for JACK...failed!
Required package JACK doesn't appear to be installed.
make: *** No rule to make target `.config', needed by `all'. Stop.

JACK is definitely installed:

dpkg -s jack
Package: jack
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: sound
Installed-Size: 660
Maintainer: Ubuntu MOTU Developers <ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com>

Version: 3.1.1+cvs20050801-25build1

...etc.

I'm using Ubuntu studio 9.04. Any other info you need, just tell me. All help, advice, ideas are welcome.

Thank you!

BTW, if Non-sequencer had a help forum I would of course take this there... googling "non-sequencer forum" gives my post at ubuntuforums as the first result, lol.

One question. Are you running 32 bit or 64 bit? I am not as familiar with Ubuntu as some are, but architecture may make a difference. Even though you have jack installed, it won't be available if non-sequencer is looking for jack of a different architecture. (i.e non-sequencer-x_64 and jack-32bit.

Hi purevw, good question. I'm running 32 bit. I don't actually know how to check the non sequencer version I downloaded is 64, and there's no information on it in the manual or any of the documentation. Do you know how to find that out?

As I said, I'm not really familiar with Ubuntu. In Linux, package files typically have the architecture as part of the file name, such as "-32bit" or "x86_64" or "noarch" if the package is not architecture dependant. I would think that there would be a way to check the package version using the synaptic package manager, but I'm not sure.
