Luke,
    I had the same problems. Workign offline with some of the developers 
they sent me the modified aeffectx.h file which allowed me to get 
jack_fst to build. However right now it won't run due to some old wine 
stuff being installed in the wrong area.

    I have a bad habbit of pulling the compile trigger rather quickly. 
It's just code. It should work. Right? If it doesn't no harm done. Right?

    Wrong. I had Ardour working with VST plugin support just yesterday, 
but discovered while talking to las and essej that all on of the stuff I 
built by hand I never used the --prefix=/usr option so everything was in 
/usr/local. I made a decision to clean that up. So far I have pretty 
much all of the stuff rebuit - wine, fst, jack_fst, ardour and I don't 
know how many other things, but unfortunately I'm having one continueing 
problem. When I try to run jack_fst it ends up complaining about not 
being able to find a file in /usr/local/lib, so womewher out there on my 
system there are still remnents of the old setup.

    Now my job is essentially search and destroy...

    I will get this done...I will get this done...I will...

    Thanks for your help and support!

Cheers,
Mark
