I don't know about Mandrake (any more..) and I don't know about the rpms
of vstserver. What I would recommend is you uninstall wine, download the
version of wine for vstserver (0.3.0), build that, build vstserver
(after adding your vst path variable), then vsti (and prolly the k_vst~
pd plugin which has much more functionality).

I am sure it will work fine. It did for me (eventually!).
