mcopidl and aRts

[Peter2009]

Hi!

I am trying to installed a programme and I get the following error:


configure: error: The important program mcopidl was not found!
Please check whether you installed aRts correctly or use
--without-arts to compile without aRts support (this will remove functionality).


before I get to configure without that. What does this mean?

I got from here (http://superuser.com/questions/125248/installing-qt-headers-and-libraries):

Additionally, the ./configure checks for several tools that were part of aRts -- the mcopidl and artsc-config commands, which are no longer included in any KDE packages in the standard Ubuntu repositories. aRts was an old KDE sound library, and I believe it's been completely replaced or subsumed.

So far I am trying to create a bash file as suggested on the same article but when I do

/bin$ sudo cat > mcopidl.sh

I get:

bash: mcopidl.sh: Permission denied

Can I not create files on the bin folder?

I cannot get this going I have look a bit on the net and seen a possible solution was install libarts1-dev but I looked and I have installed

libartsc0-dev_1.5.9-2_i386.deb from here (http://packages.debian.org/lenny/i386/libartsc0-dev/download)


libartsc0_1.5.9-2_i386.deb from here (http://packages.debian.org/lenny/i386/libartsc0/download)

libarts1c2a_1.5.9-2_i386.deb from here (http://packages.debian.org/lenny/i386/libarts1c2a/download)


But when I am going to install

libarts1-dev_1.5.9-2_i386.deb

from here (http://packages.debian.org/lenny/i386/libarts1-dev/download) I am getting the following error:


Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libartsc0-dev (= 1.5.9-2)

P.D. As you have noticed they are from Debian previous version!

I am going to compile with no aRtos if anyone solve this could you please reply... Thanks
