You mean that one: http://footils.org/pkg/fluid-040320.tgz? It's two
years old, not supported anymore ... and now it's finally gone. ;)

These files are provided with fluid~ in the subdirectory "build" of
the CVS version. Normally don't need need to edit them at all. But it
looks as if they are not found correctly. Did you download the fluid~
from CVS as well? If not, could you please do so as that one is the
only version that is supported.

Disabling LADSPA has to be done when compiling libfluidsynth, however
LADSPA isn't enabled as default with libfluidsynth, and at least the
Debian packages of libfluidsynth are already compiled without LADSPA.
So you probably don't need to worry about LADSPA.

Ciao
