Generally Kontakt lets you activate on 3 computers as long as you
don't use more than one of them at once - so unless your sample
library has specifically says otherwise you shouldn't need to worry
about activating under windows. You will have to activate
independently for windows and linux though so this probably won't
solve your problem.
Kontact loads the library from the outermost directory of the
instrument. eg. /media/danni/Caverns/ni/Balinese Gamelan Library/ (to
list a sample library that I bought seperately).
I have only tried to add sample libraries through the standalone (and
I don't have any more to add).
Do you have wineasio installed and setup and jack running when you try
to run the standalone

I compiled JACK2 (64-bit, and also a 32-bit version because Dssi-VST
Git needs it) and Dssi-VST Git. I put "$HOME/vst" in my "$VST_PATH"
and made a symlink to "Kontakt 5.dll" as "$HOME/vst/kontakt5.dll"
because Jack-dssi-host doesn't seem to like spaces in plugin filenames
(quoting or escaping didn't work). I started JACK, then loaded the VST
through Jack-dssi-host.
$ jack-dssi-host dssi-vst.so:kontakt5.dll&
Kontakt's VST loaded fine. A lot of JACK ports appeared (64 ports!
O_O), automatically connected to "system:playback_*". I connected the
Kontakt's JACK MIDI port to my keyboard's, and chose a freeware
instrument (just for testing) from Kontakt's "Files" tab. It loaded as
it should, and playing my keyboard produced the sounds just fine! Yes!
I could even record the output by using Ecasound!
... However, I didn't have the same luck with the Friedlander
Violin... Choosing an instrument from the "Files" tab doesn't work
because it's encrypted and needs to be activated. It's a "Powered by
Kontakt Player" instrument, and the option to activate it doesn't
appear unless it's loaded through the "Add Library" button first. The
problem is that when I try to "Add Library", Kontakt prompts me to
choose the location where the library is installed, and when I select
the directory, it gives me a "No library found" error. I'm sure I'm
pointing to the right place (the directory containing the
"Instruments" and "Samples" sub directories, the ".nkr" and
the
".nicnt" files). Just to make sure, I followed exactly the same steps
on Windows and the library loaded with no problems (but I didn't
activate it because I want to do it on Linux!), though it was the
standalone version instead of the VST. I hope this doesn't mean that
adding libraries only work on the standalone interface, because on
Wine I still can't get past the initial audio setup screen... Any
ideas? I feel so close...
