Hi,

Thanks, Robert, for the link from yesterday to this video tutorial 
collection about MusE and Ardour. I watched the first video so far, and 
this encouraged me to implement Carla and Drumgizmo for the use within 
MusE.

So I compiled and installed Carla 2.0 beta 4 and Drumgizmo 0.9.10 on my 
system, which is a Ubuntu Studio system  (Ubuntu 14.04.4). I had 
downloaded Carla from 

        http://kxstudio.linuxaudio.org/Applications:Carla

, i.e. the 32 bit Linux archive, which is one of the "pre-compiled" 
archives, but in fact they are not pre-compiled.

But having complied and installed Carla I discovered that the native GUI 
of Carla is not displayed in MusE when I right-click the Carla Patchbay 
track in my song. 

Instead, an empty, grey window with the name "Carla-Patchbay-0:Carla-
Patchbay" is displayed in MusE.

Before I compiled Carla, I applied the command "make features". This 
command tells you which dependencies are installed on your system, and 
which not. This is the result of this command:

Please note above the line 

        "Front-End:   YES (Using Qt5)" 

- the dependency for displaying the GUI of Carla via QT5 is fullfilled on 
my system.

When I try to start Carla from the console, then this happens:

--- Quote Beginning ---

jrad@music:/usr/local/bin$ ./carla
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/share/carla/carla", line 22, in <module>
    from carla_host import *
  File "/usr/local/share/carla/carla_host.py", line 39, in <module>
    import patchcanvas
  File "/usr/local/share/carla/patchcanvas.py", line 32, in <module>
    from PyQt5.QtSvg import QGraphicsSvgItem, QSvgRenderer
ImportError: No module named 'PyQt5.QtSvg'
jrad@music:/usr/local/bin$

--- Quote End ---

Is the 2nd last line in this quote the reason for this behaviour? I have 
the packages pyqt5-dev and pyqt5-dev-tools installed on my system. These 
packages were installed on my system before I compiled Carla.


Regards,

Jens
