[linux-audio-user] VST_SERVER and Edirol Hypercanvas?

[Dave Phillips]

Hi Russell:

  What version of WINE is installed ? Here are some details about my system:

    WINE 20031118
    libfst 1.6
    jack_fst 1.2
    JACK 0.98
    ALSA 1.0.4

  Check for earlier versions of things, i.e., in both the /usr and 
/usr/local hierarchies. I know people like package managers, I like them 
too, but this stuff is likely to be a "best fit" if you compile and 
install it yourself. And as you probably know, the version of WINE can 
make a difference.

Best,

dp
