rtpMIDI on Linux with the generic MIDI module

rtpMIDI for Linux works well on Debian, but it seems to be having trouble with Ubuntu.

If anyone is using Ubuntu and has figured out the issue, please let me know. If I discover the cause of the problem, I’ll post it here.

Here's what I see when trying to install on a NanoPI-R4S. I BELIEVE it was insta…llable on Bookworm (Debian), but I might have to go back and check... ``` root@nanopi-r4s:/opt/companion-module-dev# lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.

Looks like an issue with the libraries on Ubuntu. Should be fixable eventually, but for now, Debian works just fine.
