I got things working fairly nicely yesterday by: 1) Putting each VST in it's own directory 2) Starting vstserver using an empty directory as the exported path. 3) Starting vsti and using a relative path from the empty directory that vstserver is using vsti ../VSTi/SIR-Reverb/SIR_086.dll A bit weird but it works nicely. Would be nicer if vsti would just use the directory it's started from but this isn't bad. <SNIP> > > Mark, are you accessing http://www.djcj.org/LAU/ladspavst/ ?

To be expected. Just my luck to have them be the ones I tried first. They were ones I searched out as having your name on them. (For instance the links under Anenome & compakt) FYI - these were just test cases for me. I have no real reason to run them. <SNIP> > > You might not be loading the required external.

I think most Linux folks don't know how 'easy' it is for us non-programmer types. You know that standard comment "Just build a new kernel"?!
