Sonic Pi - Midi under Linux Mint 19.3

Support, Help & Resources
1

Hi,
i tried everything i could find in the net, burned a couple of hours and cant get it run.
So now i am giving up for today. (frustrated)

The build-in sonic-pi is working, but its 2.10 and MIDI is not supported yet.
Upgrade packages are not available.

Then i tried the appimages (link found here in the forum)


It started, sound is coming, but midi is not working.
I am getting a “Errno::ECONNREFUSED”

I tried to build from source, but the dependencies didnt match.
so i installed cmake, ruby and more in higher versions.
I get it build.
But the programm is shutdown right after the start. I read something about “a version conflict in boost or supercollider” but cant figure out what it is or how i can fix this.

I am at a dead end. No idea what to do next or which way to go.

If someone has any idea, please say something.
Thanks!
