Re: [linux-audio-user] VST_SERVER and Edirol Hypercanvas?

So I got Jack_fst built last night...after going thru the usual ./configure nightmares. These mainly came down to not having devel packages installed on MDK. (takes that to get the "pkg-config" files in /usr/lib/pkg-config). I already had Thac's "libfst" installed so I built Jack_fst. I used the "fixheaders" script on the afectfx.h or whatever it is that was installed from the fst rpm. It5 seemed to work as it allowed "make" to do just that; Make! :) So...it's showtime.....I run Jack up in the usual manner. I hold my breath anf in a terminal i run "jack_fst Hyper Canvas. I see it hesitating and comes back with " "no such file or directory". Ok...at least it didn't esplode! :) So I specify the full path. (I copied all my .dll vst's into /usr/lib/wine) I run 'jack_fst Hyper Canvas'...{still holding breath} It now returns "cant load Hyper". Hmmm...Well at least it sees it but does not like the space in the file name. So I truncate the file name by renaming it "HyperCanvas". I run it again in same manner...Pauses {face is now blue}...Pops up several windows registry errors in a box labelled "Edirol Hyper Canvas" "Cannot open registry." {1E711428-673C-ETC,ETC,ETC} OK Then terminal responds with; "fst signal handler 11, thread=0x4095c260" "fst signal handler 11, (TEB=0x40a22000)" And then dies....and I finally take a breath! :) I'm so close I can SMELL it! Is this just a permissions issue? fst is clearly talking to Hyper canvas. I tried some othe vst's. Also sometimes get something like "Could not talk to GUI thread" or such in terminal?
