Help for Kmid
Hello!
I'm sorry to annoy you with this question but I've surfed the net for a lot of time and I still can solve my problem.
I can't play .mid or .kar files with Kmid.
I've tryed to use the other programs of my OS (I have Gentoo with kde 3.1 installed) and I can hear them both with Kmidi and Timidity and I can play also mp3.
I've tried to download the file .rpm and .tar.bz2 of Kmid but I can't install them (I got an error on kmid libraries while I try to ./configure).
I explain what happend. I open the program and i load the song that i want to play. I can see the title of the file and the time of it but when i click 'play' nothing happend. No error message, nothing.
Can someone tell me what I have to configure?
Do I have to install something?
Please help me, I'm really interested to use this program.

You can try to launch a konsole, and then type "kmid", and try to open a file. There is, often, a lot information which are displayed on the konsole, it may help you to find what is wrong.
Thank you Cyb.
I've tried to do what you said and I received a message
Sorry, this KMid version was compiled without
ALSA support but you're using ALSA .
Please compile KMid for yourself or tell the people
at your Linux distribution to compile it themselves.
If I go ahead and attempt to play a midi example with kmid anyhow, I get the
following message.
There are no midi ports !
There's a way to re-compile Kmid?
I've also tried to download Kmid-1.7.tar.bz2. I've untared it and from command line I've typed ./configure but the process froze while he check for Kde header.
Do you know where I could find a source file of kmid for gentoo, or do you know what I could do to solve my problem?
Thank you again

I have just upgraded to openSuse 10.2 and now kmid won't play.
I start kmid from a console and opens a file (that played without problems in Suse 10.1).
When I click the play-button this message comes in the console:
Cannot connect to 20:0
Player :: Couldn't play
What can I do to make kmid playing.
