Yes, there's something else wrong in your setup. I exhumed a very old
machine from our hardware graveyard (PIII based) and went through the
"install fc6 and jack" there. It is apparently working fine. 

The "No supported SIMD instruction sets detected" is normal, it means
the CPU does not have sse2, 3dnow, etc and jack cannot use the vector
based assembler speedup routines for copying or adding buffers together.
But it does work normally after that, at least in my machine.
