So I followed all the directions, and everything went fine, but now I find myself with both versions on my computer, and when I use the menu link under "Applications" it takes me to the old one. How can I get rid of Ardour 2.0.5 and redirect the icon to the correct application? I'd appreciate any guidance along these lines; I'm relatively new to Ubuntu.

I just successfully compiled and installed Ardour 2.3. Thanks to Yahoo for letting me find this solution. And thank you of course. When I tried to install Ardour through Ubuntu, I noticed I couldn`t select it in the Add/Remove screen. So this is a comfortable way of getting it the 'hard' way. I needed the 20 minutes to find out what the input text was meant for! Thanks, a lot! Luciën Thanks, thanks!

Perhaps you may add this as a note to your tutorial, but I don't know if this will happen also in Ubuntu Studio (I'm using Kubuntu Gutsy.).

We went to great lengths and tested this guide on a fresh untouched install of Gutsy, so we're rather confident in its abilities :) also, be sure you have <strong>jackd</strong> installed as well. You could try uninstalling and reinstalling <strong>jackd</strong> and <strong>libjack-dev</strong> as well. Thanks! Furthermore, we just noticed a slight error as youll probably need to run 'scons install' as root to extract files to various protected folders.
