FWIW, the error occurs in the muse-0.9pre1/synti/s1 directory:

g++ -shared -nostdlib
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.5/../../../crti.o

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXinerama

According to s1.cpp it's a simple mono synth with no GUI, so that
does sound like an error in the config.

Anyway this is just FYI, I'm off to make some music!
