{sharpening up the knife with which I intend to plunge into my heart} :)

So I built the version of Wine from Kjetil's site that you are using.
All went pretty smooth. Wine works...at least with the usual
Minesweeper, etc.
I then rebuilt fst and Jack_fst against the new install of Wine. Moved
my HyperCanvas Dll into the new Wine directory which is now
/usr/local/lib/wine. Fired up Jack with high hopes and {make fast
deflating balloon noise here}  Fubar!  Same thing...

$oz@fx jack_fst /usr/local/lib/wine/HyperCanvas.dll
Can't load plugin HyperCanvas

All the builds were clean with minimal probs...had to set
PKG_CONFIG_PATH for jack_fst to configure...

Anymore suggestions before I book my room with the rubber wallpaper at
the silly farm?  :)
