See my most recent posting reporting that Rosegarden appears to need a 
later libX11 (and other X libs that depend on X11).

So either you would need to compile libc5 X libraries form newer source 
code, or compile Rosegarden for libc5 X.  Since Rosegarden is 1999 I would 
think it would compile with libc5.

But not X.

I have the libc5 (ver 2.5) and libc6 (ver 2.4, I think) versions both 
working in BL2, did not try sound in BL3.  If you have added libc6 to BL3, 
try the BL2 playmidi.

I will try to set up sound in BL3 some time soon with Christof's sound 
package for sb and test playmidi.

Tonight we entertained a dinner guest with the complete Goldberg 
Variations and 2 and 3 part inventions on the Yamaha piano, and then some 
Mendelssohn, Handel and Schubert via AWE.
