Help needed with `brahms' installation

[Rodolfo Medina]

Hallo:

maybe someone can provide help?
I want to install `brahms' on my PC (Linux Mandrake 10.1)
but am having troubles I can't work out.
I tried to follow the instructions included in the README.brahms
file which part of the brahms-1.01.tgz package.
I did: `$ tar xzvf brahms-1.01.tgz', then changed dir into brahms-1.01
and did: `$ make -f Makefile.cvs', but got the following output:


[rodolfo@localhost brahms-1.01]$ make -f Makefile.cvs
This Makefile is only for the CVS repository
This will be deleted before making the distribution

*** Creating acinclude.m4
!!! If you get recursion errors from autoconf, it is advisable to set the
environment variable M4 to something including "--nesting-limit=500"
*** Creating list of subdirectories
*** Creating configure.in
*** Creating aclocal.m4
make[1]: aclocal: Command not found
make[1]: *** [cvs] Error 127
make: *** [all] Error 2


Please,
does anyone you have any suggestion?
Or maybe suggest some suitable place where to ask for help?

Thanks indeed,
Rodolfo Medina

it is advisable to set the
environment variable M4 to something including "--nesting-limit=500"

have you tried: export M4="--nesting-limit=500"

and then trying it?

Furthermore, since you are running Mandrake, it would be a good idea to find out if there is an RPM package of your software available which should be easier to install. A quick search at rpmfind gives:

Thanks for your kind replies.
As suggested, I tried with: $ export M4="--nesting-limit=500"
and then did: `$ make -f Makefile.cvs' again, but got the same
error output as before.
Then I tried to install the Mandrake rpm package with:


# urpmi -y brahms-1.02-7mdk.i586.rpm

and got the message:

-------------------------------------------------
The following packages have bad signatures:
brahms-1.02-7mdk.i586.rpm: Invalid signature ((SHA1) DSA sha1 md5 (GPG)
(MISSING KEY) GPG#78d019f5 NOT OK)
Do you want to continue installation ? (y/N) n
--------------------------------------------------

I said yes and the installation was done. But, when I try to run
the program, it says:

[rodolfo@localhost rodolfo]$ brahms
brahms: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libBrahmsArts.so.0: undefined symbol: _ZTv0_n32_N4Arts13MidiPort_stub4timeEv

. What's that? The installation of `brahms' looks harder than I thought.
Any other suggestion?

Thanks,
Rodolfo

You may want to try downloading the program for here :

Bad signatures in Mandrake seems to be an ongoing problem. Here is a Tips and Tricks from the Mdk user site that may help with bad sigs. http://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=23154
Hope this helps.
