I'd appreciate a bit of help to fix this problem. I had DSSI plugins installed on Sarge from Willem Engen's repo, and they had been working ok, but since upgrading to Etch, the desktop launchers fail to work. Trying as user on the CLI with the same command, I got a DSSI "path not found", and the plugin obviously doesn't load.
The path was "jack-dssi-host whysynth.so" as an example, and if I changed it on the desktop launcher to the full path "jack-dssi-host /usr/lib/dssi/0.9/whysynth.so" whysynth starts ok, and same goes for the CLI. I Googled DSSI_PATH , and a spanish blog suggested, export DSSI_PATH=/usr/lib/dssi/0.9 followed by echo $DSSI_PATH which verified the path as /usr/lib/dssi/0.9 I can now load the dssi plugin on the CLI with "jack-dssi-host whysynth.so", but the same command on the desktop launcher still won't work. The spanish blog also suggested adding to ~/.bashrc export DSSI_PATH=/usr/lib/dssi/0.9 Which I did by adding it to the bottom of the file (I havn't messed with .bashrc before) , still no change from the destop launchers for the plugins. Logged out of KDE, then back in, but no change. Now I'm stuck. Would ~/.bash_profile, which is also still at default status have any effect on the entry I made in ~/.bashrc? I've put it below.
