I thank you very much for maintaining ccrma packages.
IŽll try to install new versions on _top_ of jack and 
pd, and write back to say how it goes.

btw, good istructions (web pages, manuals) for newbies
are rare, had to run 3 google pages to find a "make
uninstall" command. IŽll build a blog or something to
give this standard basic procedures. There are missing
instructions to use the ccrma package (running
programs, setup, getting new versions and installing
them..). Is it ok to put some of them there? It is
somethig I can do as a musician, not as a computer
student that I am not.

thanks
