Hmmm, why did you install swingosc? It is available in the Planet CCRMA
repositories... I forget which version of Fedora you have, you should be
able to install "supercollider-world" and bring in all the supercollider
related packages. 

I'd suggest you uninstall what you installed and try the prebuilt
swingosc, it should run "out of the box". That is, once sc has started:

  g = SwingOSC.default.boot;

should get it up and running...

How are you starting jack? Through qjackctl? What other applications
have you tried?

Well, it seems that jack is running fine. And it looks like it is using
the onboard soundcard. 

What do you see in "cat /proc/asound/cards"?
