I'm sorry - I keep trying to paste the info in the message above, and it cuts off all of the bottom of the paste. PM me if you want, and I'll send it to you.

Is it possible that you don't have read/write access on /dev/tranzportX? Do have a /dev/tranzportX at all?

I'd love to know how this turned out for you. I am having the same trouble. I am a complete neophyte with this Linux thing, so I am not at all sure how to go about this. I can see the Tranzport in the Control Surfaces options, but get the same error. I don't know how how to get or use the "git repro" shown above or how to apply the patch. I'm determined to get this thing working, but it's baby steps all the way for me. Zendrum, is there more to the above explanation? Can I PM you too?
Hello-
Here are steps someone else gave me to get my Tranzport working. This worked for me with Ardour 2.8.X. Please be advised this is a recompile of Ardour, and you may have to sort out your dependencies.

You need two particular pieces. Download this patch:
http://linux-sound.org/Sconstruct.patch
Now download this git repo :
git clone git://git.teklibre.com/home/d/src/git/frontier
Btw, I dl the git sources to my ~/src directory, you'll see why in a
moment. When you have the Ardour 2.8.4 source tree copy the patch to its
top directory and apply it:
cd ~/src/ardour-2.8.4/
patch -p0
