Rene, Thank you for the response. I'll see if I can make this clear. I am trying to build Ardour 2.0 on a Zenwalk 4.4.1 system with gcc-3.4.6 For Ardour 2.0, I need the following dependencies: 1. gcc/g++ 3.x or above 2. scons 0.96 or above http://www.scons.org/ 3. python (2.3.4 or above) http://www.python.org/ 4. gettext 0.12.1 or above 5. pkg-config 0.20 or abovehttp://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/ 6. libtool http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/ 7. JACK 0.100 or later ( libjack) http://jackaudio.org/ 8. XML2 http://xmlsoft.org/ 9. XSLT http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/ 10. libart_lgpl 2.3.16 or later (libart, libart_lgpl )http://www.gnome.org/ 11. samplerate 0.1.2 or later (libsamplerate)http://www.mega-nerd.com/SRC/ 12. raptor (libraptor, libraptor1) http://librdf.org/raptor/ 13. lrdf ((librdf, librdf0) http://sourceforge.net/projects/lrdf 14. glib 2.10 or above (libglib2, libglib2.0, libglib2.0-0 )http://www.gtk.org/ 15. GTK+ 2.8 or above (plus other GTK requirements like Pango, ATK, Cairo) (libgtk2, libgtk2.0, libgtk2.0-0) http://www.gtk.org/ 16. libgnomecanvas (libgnomecanvas2, libgnomecanvas2-0)http://directory.fsf.org/libs/misc/libgnomecanvas.html 17. liblo (liblo, liblo0) http://liblo.sourceforge.net/ 18. boost (libboost http://boost.org/ 19. glib2-devel I have compiled and installed all of the above, (except for boost), and installed bjam. I didn't understand the configuration of bjam, so I skipped that, (maybe that is part of my problem), and just ran the following command from my boost_1_33_1 directory: bjam "-sTOOLS=gcc" install I received a python error, not sure what it was, it flashed by quickly, and a lot of the following errors that looked repetitive: ...failed gcc-Link-action bin/boost/libs/program_options/build/libboost_program_options.so/gcc/release/shared-linkable-true/libboost_program_options-gcc-1_33_1.so... ...skipped <@boost!lib>libboost_program_options-gcc-1_33_1.so for lack of <@boost!libs!program_options!build/libboost_program_options.so/gcc/release/shared-linkable-true>libboost_program_options-gcc-1_33_1.so... Then at the end of the compile I get the following errors: ...skipped <@boost!lib>libboost_program_options-gcc-mt-1_33_1.so for lack of <@boost!libs!program_options!build/libboost_program_options.so/gcc/release/shared-linkable-true/threading-multi>libboost_program_options-gcc-mt-1_33_1.so...
