[linux-audio-user] Running vstserver & ladspavst

i'm having the same problem unfortunately.

the only instructions i see are to
1-set VST_PATH environment variable to point to where your plugins are
  eg: /usr/share/vst
2-launch vstserver from its directory
  eg: cd /usr/lib/vst/; vstserver;

i have vstserver running but it just waits:
"VSTSERVER/main: Vstserver 0.2.6 started. Waiting for requests."

the vstserver 'exampleclient' works for me, but jack-rack, pd, and 
ardour dont. 

does anyone have it working? it would be nice to know what was
supposed to happen, and which clients are known to work.


i'm using thacs rpms:
libladspavst-0.1.2-5mdk
k_vst~-0.2.6-2mdk
vstserver-0.2.6-2mdk
libvst-devel-0.2.6-1mdk
libvst-0.2.6-1mdk
ladspa-1.12-2mdk
libladspavst-0.1.2-5mdk
ladspa-devel-1.12-2mdk


> Also, do any VSTi's work with vstserver?

probably not....
