I have some problems running Bristol. I checked the 
/usr/share/bristol/bin directory, and it contains only startBristol. 
Should there be more there? In smart, the bristol package content 
listing does not show anything not installed.

Here's the output:

$ bristol -jack -2600
/usr/share/bristol/bin/startBristol: line 202: [: too many arguments
/usr/share/bristol/bin/startBristol: line 229: [: 128: binary operator 
expected
ldd: /usr/share/bristol/bin/bristol: Ingen slik fil eller filkatalog
Requested Jack drivers, not compiled into bristol
$

It's strange since you issued the same command and got it running.
