Kunquat gives "libarchive was not found" error on compile, despite libarchive-dev being installed.

What operating system are you using? Could you provide the contents of the file config.log? This file is created after you run scons and it may help us identify the source of the problem.

Hi,

I'm using Ubuntu 12.10. The output of the config.log is as follows:-

Ok, try this version and see if it works for you: http://kunquat.org/kunquat-0.5.3b2.tar.gz

As a side note: we are happy that you are interested in our project, but at this early stage we do not recommend using Kunquat for any critical productions.

Thanks I will try it later this evening. I was hoping Konquat might assist me in my MSc research, but maybe not if you do not recommend use for critical situations.

As a side note, have you considered a name change. Google tries to be 'helpful' and refines search queries to the more common Kumquat (fruit). You need a keen eye to make Google play fairly. ;)

Hi again,

Yes that works well. A very interesting piece of software you have developed here. I love the nuance and expression in the music demo example. I'm looking forward to exploring it.

Thanks for your assistance.
