Well, at this point I should run down the process as I've outlined it in
the soon-to-arrive tutorial :

  1. Build & install the vstserver, the ladspa vst host plugin, and the
k_vst~ object.
  2. Start the server.
  3. Use the client(s).

It's possible that the pre-built binary is lacking a dependency. I
advise building all of this stuff from source anyway, and if you have a
working Wine installation (including the devel package!) you shouldn't
have too much trouble. So :

  1. Do you have Wine installed ?
  2. Do you have the Wine devel package installed ?
  3. Did you start the vstserver before running the client ?

I apologize if I'm telling you things you already know, I just want to
be thoroughly clear.
