Not sure.  :)  All's I really know is that Jazz++ works on my Linux box 
without a softsynth, compiled as-is using the top-level rebuild script.  If 
all dependencies are satisfied, you should have the same experience.

In that case, may I direct you to a webpage?
http://www.davefancella.com/mambo/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=34&Itemid=34

It's a webpage of my own that has a few hydrogen files, a drumkit, and some 
midi bass lines I did with RoseGarden.  No guitars or anything, though.  
Maybe some day I'll record some guitars, but the page is kinda meant to 
support guitar players, because it's meant to support me.  ;)  contributions 
welcome, you can upload files to the forums on my website.
