It is not the common X libraries that I am missing (in BL2).

See 
http://www.linuxlinks.com/Software/Multimedia/MIDI/Sequencers/index.shtml

MuSE needs a 1GHz or faster processor and Qt
Miditoy needs KDE but uses OSS

STed looks more promising, works in X or with ncurses but the ncurses 
version requires Japanese characters.

Seq24 needs ALSA

Jazz++ needx wxwidget

Softwerk needs GTK+, Tgk--, SegC, GNU autoconf, libpbd, libgtkmmext limxml 
libmidi++ libguileconfig, but works with OSS or ALSA

Dino needs JACK (jackd, libjack) and libglademm to load UI files...
and libgtkmm, libsigc++, libglibmm 'and so on'.

Mandala needs python (which I installed for something else once - curl?)

Brahms needs ALSA
BINARS needs Qt and ALSA
Anthem needs KDE
Melys needs ALSA

Could someone figure out whether midish is possible with OSS and BL? 
http://caoua.org/midish   0.2.3 Feb 17 2006
'simple comand-line interpreter... lightweight, fast and reliable'
used with external devices, records, edits, imports and exports MIDI

Needs libreadline (or readline(3) library) for rmidish readline front end.

It is supposed to work with external midi device to play/record songs, 
configure, create tracks, and other things I don't understand.

106K source code latest stable release of 0.2.3.  Unpackaged to 651K of .c 
.h and man files and a Makefile to be edited.

/usr/lib/libreadline.so.3.0 is what I have and the Makefile points to 
/usr/local/lib (which I changed to /usr/lib) and /usr/local/include.

I tried to compile and got a lot of .o files and even an executable
midish, but not the front end rmidish.  Error 1, exited.

/usr/lib/libreadline.so:  undefined reference to `atexit@@GLIBC_2.0'

I have glibc 2.2.5 from SW8.1.  Libreadline is probably from SW7.1.
Do I need a newer libreadline.so?  I am compiling with egcs-2.91.66, 
should I switch to gcc 2.95.3?

rmidish is an optional front end, just midish ought to be usable/

ldd midish - finds libc.so.6 and ld-linux.so.2.

I am packaging midish with smfplay smfrecord (scripts), man pages and 
midishrc and posting at http://keesan.freeshell.org/midish-bl2.tgz

Maybe someone else can get it working.  I don't understand the terms.

-------------

I think I tried mpu_io=0x300 (or 330) with playmidi in BL2.  I will try 
again in BL2, and also BL3, for playing to external device.  Tomorrow.

No hurry on ltmodem for 2.4.31.  What is libg++?
