try to build librubberband but without the example plugins, specially 
without the vamp dependables. you'll have to tweak librubberband's 
Makefile though

and ask why there's no librubberband package in those extremely popular 
debian'buntu distro repos. i wonder why no packager has noticed it yet :)

if you look in qtractor source distribution, there's this README.VST 
file that you may like to read ;)

windows vsts are supported through dssi-vst, at least the last time i've 
tried
