I'll try compiling and using those versions of WINE, but you might consider using the version I use (20031118). I got it from Kjetil's site at http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/, it's the badly named file vstserver-wine-tar.bz2. Be sure to rename it to vstserver-wine.tar.bz2, then unzip it (you'll need bunzip2), untar it (tar xvf), then enter the new wine and follow the directions in the README. Also, please give me some more detail about how you're launching the plugin. >I give...for now!

As I said, this stuff is extremely dependent upon WINE, which is itself one of the most volatile development projects for Linux. It's not at all uncommon for a new version of WINE to break support for things that worked previously, so I'm not usually rushing to try the latest & greatest. I use what works for Kjetil: if he can get the vstserver working with his recommended version, then that's the version I use. Also, did you install the devel packages for WINE ? Make sure that your wine binary and its development package are the same version. >I'm bummed at another level...A decent midi GM soft synth is about the >only real thing keeping me from going Linux only with my live audio >stuff. > Have you used fluidsynth with one of its GUIs ? I use the FluidR3 soundfont from Hammersound, it works pretty well for my purposes. Best regards, dp
