Hi Tracey. I thought I'd just update you on how this fiasco is going. I put 
the other harddrive caddie in the machine ,with the first install on FC3. 
Using apt-get, I put dssi, dssi-devel, hexter, xsynth-dssi, fluidsynth-dssi, 
which also got, LADDCA, fluidsynth, and libsamplerate. Then installed ladspa, 
and swh-plughins, cmt, and blop, which I think are more to do with deps for 
om. Then ladspa-devel. Right. Now CD'd into Whysynth I run ./configure, which 
runs to completion, then make, which also completes, and then as root, make 
install. Bingo! I've got whysynth installed. Now feeling up in the clouds I 
change the harddrive caddie to the FC3 one that has problems. Try all the 
same stuff to get this fiendish program installed, but no-go. Last resort, 
run autoconf. Now this runs for a bit, and I think "Hello" are we getting 
somewhere? No errors (Thankfully). Still CD;d into the whysynth directory, I 
run ./configure. Amazingly it completes. Run make, and this completes, and 
the same, as root, make install completes with no errors. I'm puzzled, but 
happy that it's installed on both FC2 & FC3. And looking at whysynth, It's 
got lots of knobs to play with to make new patches, apart from the sounds 
that are already there. Still can't get Smack installed, or should I say, 
can't get one of it's deps, "om". Thats for another day. I'll play around 
with trying to make some patches for Whysynth, and ZynAddSubFx. The compiler 
is doing my head in. Happy music making. Nigel.
