i installed Timidity (using Gslapt) onto my operating system (or a least I think I did anyway) then I tried to play a midi file tried to play a MIDI file uusing the command "timidity midifile.mid, and got the following output:

doctor:$ timidity roland.mid

/usr/share/timidity/timidity.cfg: No such file or directory
timidity: Error reading configuration file.
Please check /usr/share/timidity/timidity.cfg

the problem in question is that when I went to the /usr/share subdirectory, I found that there was NO "timidity" subdirectory there (Gslapt shows it as being installed). Please help. And my operating system is VL 7.0.

what version of VL and timidity you are having?

[hata_ph]

I have build TiMidity++-2.14.0 and should be available at the testing repo...pls try it out

[Locator]

I have Vector Linux 7.0 (32 bit), and version 2.13.2 of TiMidity. Now, how do I identify which is the testing repo?

[hata_ph]

Make sure below repo is enabled in your slapt-get/gslapt's repo list

32bit: http://vectorlinux.osuosl.org/veclinux-7.0/testing/
64bit: http://vectorlinux.osuosl.org/VL64-7.0/testing/

PS: Do not run system update with testing repo enable.

Does it work as expected?

[Locator]

yes, but some of the notes get stuck part way through what I'm trying to play

[hata_ph]

If it work pls mark this thread as closed. Thanks.

[Locator]

This is the reason why I haven't marked it as closed.
