[fluid-dev] Re: no midi on linux

[Joe Corneli]

OK, I ran, apt-get install alsa. Now locate alsa gives me what's below
(1).  But then ./configure doesn't work.

I suspect that alsa is set up wrong (I just guessed I had Sound Blaster
16, I don't actually know what sound card I have).

Any idea about how to find out what soundcard I have and then how to
reconfigure Alsa?  Sorry if this question is annoying.  This is all just
so much more tedious then the Mac... but then again I couldn't ever get
the mac version of fluidsynth working with clavier.  (If it works now, I
will happily give up this alsa business.)
