When I run ./waf build -v I get the following error:

---

Hi
I've no idea what goes wrong here. It looks like your system fail to create symlinks for the library.
Which configure flags do you use? Maybe you could try to use the --static-lib configure flag, then symlinks wasn't needed.

Maybe you could try building in your home directory. For example, I created the "mylocal" directory in my home directory, and installed there, then I could run guitarix from the binary in /home/fred/mylocal/bin/ (for example).

First, create "mylocal" directory in your home dir, and also create the following directories under "mylocal":
bin etc include lib man sbin share src

Then:
./waf configure --prefix /home/fred/mylocal
./waf build
./waf install

Good luck!

Both suggestions worked. Thank-you.
