That was fantastic, from your tutorial I finally installed BUTT on ubuntu 16.04 with little more in my dependencies. It just helped me to know that the issue I had was almost the dependencies.

I really appreciate your work to assemble this amount of detail. I didn't get a compile (Ubuntu 18.04) but I got an education in the process of tracking down missing components. Meanwhile I can run BUTT on my Mac. Tom(12/5/18)

Thank you very much for sharing Aub. I cleaned up this article and I also added your additions, to hopefully help others who happen upon this article. It's great to know that this worked for you on Ubuntu, as I am a Mint user. You have made the Internet a better place. Happy streaming!

Hey Jeremy! I've been trying to follow your instructions on installing BUTT on Ubuntu 18.04. When I arrived to the stage of installing "libportaudio-dev" from the downloaded file, and I entered the last command (make install) I got the following message in terminal: "/usr/bin/install -c -d /usr/local/lib /bin/bash ./libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c lib/libportaudio.la /usr/local/lib libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c lib/.libs/libportaudio.so.2.0.0 /usr/local/lib/libportaudio.so.2.0.0 /usr/bin/install: cannot remove '/usr/local/lib/libportaudio.so.2.0.0': Permission denied Makefile:190: recipe for target 'install' failed make: *** [install] Error 1 " Any ideas?

Hey Attila, <br /><br /> <ul> <li>When I get a "Permission denied" response when attempting to install or make, the first thing I do is to attempt the install or make as root (if possible). <li> If I still get "Permission denied" as root, then I switch back to my normal user account, and attempt the install or make. <li> If I still get "Permission denied", as my normal user, I try to install or make using sudo. <li> If I still get "Permission denied", I usually think that perhaps the files were downloaded as "john" but are attempting to be insalled as "jane". In other words, if "john" downloaded the files, then I attempt to install the files as "john". Or, I'll download the files as "root" and then attempt to install or make the files as "root". <li> If I still get "Permission denied", then perhaps SELinux is interferring with the install. If possible, I'll temporarily disable SELinux to see if SELinux is indeed the cause of the "Permission denied" response - `setenforce Permissive`. <li> If I still get "Permission denied", I'll check /var/log/messages, /var/log/secure, or journalctl to see if there are any events in the logs that may indicate why permission is denied. <li> If wouldn't try to use chown (change owner) or chmod (change mode) on the source files, as the source files should have the appropriate permission for make. <li> If "Permission denied" still appears, then I would contact the fella that made Butt (he is actually quite reachable).

Tried this on Debian Stretch. Your article seems to suggest it's possible. Debian was mentioned. Sadly I find that several of these packages not available, or have unmet dependencies. I have free, nonfree and contrib sources enabled. Is it even possible to install this on Debian Stretch? <y/N>
