Re: [ecasound] record with ecasound on a mac

Try running configure again... once it is complete read the summary
and see if it says something like:

Following features were selected:
Debugging info: no
Effects enabled: yes
Largefile support: no
Termcap: ncurses
Use system readline: no
Use curses interface: no
Libaudiofile: no
Libsndfile: yes
ALSA support: no
OSS support: no
aRts support: no
JACK support: yes
Libsamplerate support no

The crucial line being, of course, JACK support: yes

If it says no, then you're on the right track to fixing the problem
(although I'm not sure what the exact solution would be...).
