I don't believe that I posted my reply to the list, so I will post 
again, also because I have an addition to what I wrote. I believe that I 
installed openjdk using sbopkg as when running sepkg -q audio, Yoshimi 
refused to compile as there was no jdk version installed on my systems. 
Openjdk seemed like the sane choice to me... There may be other build 
scripts that also depended on jdk being installed. My original message 
is below.


Hello again Dave,

Unfortunately, I didn't take any notes as such. However, I noted that 
running sbopkg -i openjdk solved one major hiccup. I have also noted 
that when running sepkg -q audio, there are problems encountered in the 
quefiles that prevent portmidi and avahi installing. I believe this was 
both for the Slackware64 14.2 and Slackware 14.2 installs. Whatever I 
needed to install to rerun the build scripts for portmidi and avahi were 
picked up by using sbopkg.

All the best,

Brian
