hi,

make sure you have all the pre-requisites to build and install s/w from source--most often and usually that means you should have (a lot of) development related packages already installed, along with all its respective "ammo"... starting with gcc (gnu c), g++ (gnu c++) compilers and their sidekicks (eg. cpp stands for the c pre-processor).

otoh. and off the record, being a newbie as you say, i'd say it is a bold move for you trying building it straight from the source. yeah, i know it's my cup of tea and i do tell peeps to try just that more that often, but not at all for the likes as a first comer as i think you might be.

but don't despair. please try whether your distro already supplies the intended packages for a start. qjackctl is old enough to be on most if not every distro out there.

cheers
