When I try to start amSynth I get the following error:

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.
