Then java is working fine.

That should not make (I think) a difference. If java started from a
terminal is working then I think java started from within emacs should
work as well. 

What _else_ is printed when you try to start swingosc from inside emacs?

As a workaround you could try starting the java line I sent you (which
seems to work), leave that running, and then go into emacs and start
swingosc - it should recognize the java process that is already running
and be happy.

I don't think you need to point to anything, at least if you are using
my packages. Just use "java" (or rather, erase all the stuff you added).
If "alternatives" are correctly set the proper java will be picked up
just as when you execute it from a terminal. If not then there should be
more error messages to look at.

I don't understand this at all. The default qt in fc10 is qt version
4.x, in my fc10 laptop what I have installed is:

$ rpm -q qt
qt-4.5.2-1.fc10.i386

You should not have to install any other qt stuff. Maybe the confusion
is because the package is no longer called qt4? (that happens when a
version stabilizes and becomes the default).

Something must have been left over from that install and it is messing
up with the existing qjackctl. You should look into /usr/local/* to see
if anything was left over there. You should also reinstall the qjackctl
package, something could have written over it.

Qjackctl has migrated over to the Fedora repositories (as many other
packages).
