Cannot get KMid to work

[parkertom1]

Hi all,

I compiled KMid 2.4.0, no error messages.
When I start kmid via menu, I get a popup: Fatal Error: No MIDI module loaded.
Starting from konsole, I get the following message:

$ kmid
QInotifyFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths: inotify_add_watch failed: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
QFileSystemWatcher: failed to add paths: /home/thomas/.config/ibus/bus
kmid(6196)/kdeui (kdelibs): Attempt to use QAction "show_volume_pitch" with KXMLGUIFactory!
kmid(6196)/kdeui (kdelibs): Attempt to use QAction "show_position" with KXMLGUIFactory!
kmid(6196)/kdeui (kdelibs): Attempt to use QAction "show_codecs" with KXMLGUIFactory!
kmid(6196)/kdeui (kdelibs): Attempt to use QAction "show_rhythm" with KXMLGUIFactory!
kmid(6196): KPluginFactory could not load the backend: "kmid_alsa"

I can play midi files through Rosegarden, pmidi or kmidimon via usb to an external device.
Thank you,

Thomas

It's working fine here (using timidity) . Please paste cmake output here.

SOLVED Re: Cannot get KMid to work

cmake output complained about missing alsa. So (re?-)installed some alsa packages (alsa-base and alsa-utils) and recompiled. Now it works.

Re: Cannot get KMid to work

Great! btw the missing package is libasound2-dev (lib64asound2-dev in 64bit?).
