OK. Now it comnes up as long as I don't have anything
in /usr/local/lib/vst. Do you have an example of a free (as in beer)
VST plugin that is known to work?

Are you trying to start it with "ardour2" or with "ardourvst"?

Tim,
I've been thinking about trying out some of the VST stuff. Can you
direct me to some information on how to get it working under Linux? I
know I'll need Wine but that's about the extent of my knowledge.
Jan
Basically, the way I got VSTs to work is as follows:
Install WINE (I used the FC5 RPMs)
Download the VST SDK (not exactly sure where this is now, but I can
get you the ZIP file if you need it...)
Download the latest Ardour source tarball
Copy the VST SDK zip into ardour-*/lib/fst (or something like that)
Compile Ardour with the VST=1 flag
Then, you place your VST DLLs in /usr/local/lib/vst, and that's it.
When Ardour starts up, it will "check out" the VSTs in this folder.
Having weird/dysfunctional VSTs can prevent Ardour from starting up,
so it's a good idea to load them in one at a time.
