Um... *cough* *cough*...

Well, the problem was that I couldn't create new projects in Ardour. I
was running as root, and had uninstalled/reinstalled/purged-configs
multiple times to no avail.

Then, when attempting to install Debian alongside RedHat, I formatted and
overwrote the wrong partition.

...

So... I reinstalled RedHat 9.0 with the Planet CCRMA packages, and
everything seems to be fine now.  I haven't tried fooling around with
templates again, but I can try to recreate the bug if so desired.

On a side note, the reason why I was interested in templates to start
with was so that I could save my connection settings (out 1 =
alsa_pcm_out_1 & alsa_pcm_out_2, etc... ), but this doesn't seem to work
even for regular projects.  I.E., if I use the connections window to make
Out 1 use two ports, then set all my tracks to send to Out 1, upon saving
and reloading, ardour will complain that my setup is invalid and all the
tracks will be sending to only one port (and my meticulous panning goes
bye-bye...).

I'm writing this from work (somehow I'm not yet fired), so I can't get
more specific right now, but I would be glad to more thoroughly
investigate and report this activity if the elders think it merits such
attention.

Peace, 
=Pete

You can only run configure at the top level of the Ardour source tree. 
You don't want to know why this is true.  Don't try to work around it.
