I'm assuming you are running kxstudio? Wierd that the dependencies get
confused, I have no solution to that. I just wanted to mention that there
is likely another problem with dssi-vst at the moment. Due to some low
level bug dssi-vst currently does not work under a 64-bit system.

As far as I know this is still the case so I think Carla or Airwave is your
best bet.

A question regarding Carla, I tried it with MusE the other week as an
alternative. Does Carla expose the parameters of a plugin to the host? I
couldn't get it to but it might be MusE is lacking some LV2 extension.

Regards,
Robert
