And at least in Debian, it is (unfortunately) possible to install two
jackd's. One into /usr with normal package management, and one to
/usr/local if you build it manually. So if you built jackd and ardour but
you still have the Debian version of jackd running, ardour will try to use
the /usr/local one.

Things might have changed now, but at least I have experienced this at
some point.
