There is not. I had to build my own for fc10. I'm retrying the build now
on fc11, I don't remember but I presume it failed when I first tried.

Hmm, just finished. So it must be something in freqtweak itself (bet it
is some header thing).

I get an error when including one of the wxGTK24 headers... there's
something the compiler does not like about /usr/include/wx/string.h.

Indeed.

I run into this as well (not long ago, in the latest rebuild for fc10). 
Could not find a way out... I think at this point the correct thing to
do would be to migrate to the latest cm releases but I anticipate much
pain, if previous experiences are a guide :-)

It is puzzling, the fomus used in the latest cm is numerically older
than what is being used in that very very old snapshot. 

Well, most probably the whole Planet CCRMA lisp world needs a rework to
use s7 for everything (cm/clm/cmn), s7 is the latest scheme interpreter
by Bill.
