No, no reason at all - but I am puzzled how the libraries libsmf etc are
being found (presumably!) while libportmidi is not - the files from
configure.ac downwards appear to be in order. What mystifies me is the
autogen.sh step - you said IIRC that gub does not do it - how does it
get the makefiles if not?

I just downloaded denemo-1.0.0.~rc.7-3.linux-x8 and installed it on my
debian stable box. It errors at startup like this:

 denemo
/home/rshann/bin/denemo: 41: cannot create : Directory nonexistent
/home/rshann/denemo/usr/bin/denemo: error while loading shared
libraries: libportmidi.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory

and indeed there is no libportmidi in ~/denemo/usr/lib where the others
are.
