Hey, rejoice ubuntu studio users!
I've been struggling to get linuxsampler - fantasia to work for some time. I tried many things from compiling to installing them under wine (yes a shame but I was curious ) and believe me it was a disaster!) and finally I found this ppa archive by David Konsumer:
https://launchpad.net/~david-konsumer/+archive/konsumer
Brand new linuxsampler, qsampler stuff there including amd64 builds! downloaded them all and first installed the libgig6 and liblscp packages from the ppa and then tried to install liblinuxsampler (1.0)
There were dependency problems with libjack in liblinuxsampler package and the name is libjack0 in our repos so I searched virtually all the web (just joking) and found this solution, guess where? Of course in our beloved ubuntu forums again:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636724
Using the second script I found there (use the script with gedit as the editor its easier) I was able to change the debian control file inside the liblinuxsampler deb and changed the libjack dependency to libjack0 on the depends line. I also changed the libgig (with version number) to libgig6 to look like: libgig6 (>= 3.3.0) and removed the other unneeded libgig6 entry. And after that liblinuxsampler installed no problem.
There was another depends problem with linuxsampler package (libgig problem) so I edited that with the script too to change libgig to libgig6. Installed it too without problems.
The rest is easy, just install fantasia from here (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jsampler/files/Fantasia/Fantasia%200.9/Fantasia-0.9.jar/download) and start rocking!
I would like to thank David Konsumer for his excellent (ok maybe not excellent but efficient enough) ppa archive, loevborg for this wonderful videbcontrol script and motin for modifying it to work with gedit.
Cheers
