cant install libfluidsynth on colab and locally on ubuntu 19 or higher

[mayurnewase]

Now colab uses ubuntu 20 (focal-fossa) it doesn't have libfluidsynth package in default distribution anymore. search at https://packages.ubuntu.com/ it was available till ubuntu 18.

I compiled it locally but pyfluidsynth isn't able to load it. when I do import fluidsynth it complains lib not found on colab too.

any workaround?

100 should fix

if anyone using latest linux distro facing this problem, just add mirror from focal-fossa in the /etc/apt/sources.list and then use apt to install it. then remove that mirror.

thanks for fix on colab too.
