You'll have to rebuild qtractor from source.

After you install librubberband-dev you must reconfigure and recompile qtractor source tree, that's it. If you're new to building software from source, I must warn you that you probably will need to install a lot of development packages first. Here's a list o f what I can tell from memory: most importantly, of course, gcc/g++, then autoconf, automake, libqt4-dev, libjack-dev, libasound2-dev, libsndfile-dev, libvorbis-dev, ladspa-sdk, and all their dependencies (and believe me there are plenty:).

After you get all that installed you can grab the released source tarball or, if you want to try the latest and greatest, one of the svn snapshots.

Uncompress the downloaded file (nb. x.y.z depends on the exact version you've downloaded):

tar -xvf qtractor-x.y.z.tar.gz

then move to the source tree directory:

cd qtractor-x.y.z

configure the build:

./configure

that's when you see whether all needed dev packages are in place. If satisfied with it, proceed to actual compilation:

make

If all went well (ie. no errors) you got there a pristine qtractor executable ready for launch. Try it:

./qtractor

If you can get it here you ain't a Linux noob any longer :)
