Dave,
Before you do that, let me work on this a bit. I'm convinced the
permissions are an issue but then I ran Crystal, I did it in the same
manner I had been running HyperCanvas, except as root. That would
indicate the permissions as root only thing...but it does not cover the
HyperCanvas wine registry thing...
I will try all of these options later today/tonight. I'll let you know
what I find.
Thanks again!!

*FANFARE* Dave...oh Dave...I have news.... :)
So I figured I'd try to run the actual HyperCanvas installer because it
looked like Wine needed a registry entry for the .dll. I tried regsvr32
prior to and it did not work....So I ran the whole installer...it
actually ran all the way thru without a glitch. (still as root)
It got done and i thought "what the hell, we'll try it again" So as
root, I ran jack_fst /usr/local/lib/wine/Hypercanvas.dll {I changed the
case on "c" for ease of entry}..
And ...Violah! The bugger popped up on the screen!!! Has Jack audio
ports and midi port in "connect" window of qjackctl and all!
A few things to note:
You should really try to get all this stuff happening as normal
user, it's much safer. You will not be able to run your plugins as
normal user if they have only root permissions, I checked it by copying
the HC dll as root and trying to run it as normal user. I got the same
error you were getting ("can't load plugin HyperCanvas.dll").
Command completion is your friend. ;)
You can save and load connection maps via qjackctl's patchbay. Check
it out, it's a very cool feature.
Is it not amazing how a geek can get so jubilant
over a piece of bloody
software!! ;)
Something to do with how we're wired...
I have not had a chance to try running it yet but
later tonight I will
"road test" it...
Not sure if I'm all the way there yet but this is a landmark improvement
obviously. Would still like to see if I can run it as user under 2.6.7
with lsm, etc.
Let us know how it goes. I'm not running a 2.6 kernel yet so cannot be
of any assistance there.
Hey...thanks a bloody great bunch for your help
thus far Dave! YOur a
trooper!!! And I appreciate your persistence greatly! THis is a first
for me on anything VST~
You're quite welcome, I hope you get sound in your tests.
Well, I've learned that I need to add some comments re: file permissions
in the VST/VSTi quick toot so I guess it's time to update it again. What
a pain...
Best,
