There is a bug in the Ardour/Jack ebuilds in gentoo.  By default, the
jack-cvs ebuild places the sockets/fifos in /tmp and the ardour-cvs ebuild
looks for them in /dev/shm.  There is a USE flag called something like
"jack_tmpfs" that causes jack-cvs to use /dev/shm as well.  You'll have to
check the jack ebuild to see what the flag actually is.  Of course these
two ebuild should be synchronized but they aren't.

Personally, I suggest compiling from source.  That way you have full
control over all the configure options.

Thank you.
