Description Matt Henley 2005-02-10 21:29:06 UTC
When I try to start amSynth I get the following error:
matt@snoopy ~ $ amSynth
amSynth 1.0.0

torbenh is retired
Comment 2 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-04 15:32:46 UTC
what user are you starting it as?  What's the uid for that user?
Comment 3 Eric Shattow 2005-05-29 15:49:30 UTC
this bug is related to the compiler used to produce binary executable for
amSynth.bin;   upstream needs to fix this.
Comment 4 Jordan 2005-05-31 16:42:14 UTC
I get this when /usr/libexec/amSynth.bin has suid. When I chmod 755 it, this
goes away. This only happens with jack + realtime-lsm. Non-realtime jack and
amsynth works fine.
