Hi everybody !

At first let me say a big Thank You, for putting together this awesome synth !
I have been using it for over a year now and it rocks !!

however, i came recently to get this error message on startup :
can't open display:
all of this would be fine and understandable if i was using ZynAddSubFX with a dispay, which is not the case : i actually start it without X on tty and with the option -U for no gui
i seems to be a fltk problem, but i understand no more
When i tried to compile ZynAddSubFX on my new gentoo machine, i had a previous problem :
could not find fluid
Gentoo was itself compiled with fltk2 (fluid2) and Glibc2
i couldn't downgrade fltk without downgrading glibc as well, so i followed the step described here :http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-59 ... 2d77578910 (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-5942179.html?sid=8420cdf0eac966d159baac2d77578910)
that is, i compiled fltk-1.1.9 on a new slot and all went fine
i can now start ZynAddSubFX with X without trouble, but as my computer is designed to be headless, all my apps have to start from scripts, and X is never used, thus my problem

any idee ?

Bug confirmed.
I will need to see if I can fix that.

If you want an immediate fix, then you should be able to compile ZynAddSubFX without linking to the fltk libraries. (use Makefile.inc for the 2.4.0 version or cmake for the git version)

It should be fixed in the git master branch on sourceforge.
Thanks for reporting the bug.

If you want to download the up-to-date code, you can get it from:

Thanks a lot for thoses 2 quick answers and the fix
I didn't even to finish compiling again with the DISABLE_GUI option that you already fixed that bug !!
now I have to learn how to compile from git to not make myself appear as an idiot :)
anyway, while I figure that out, I will just say thanks again !!
