How do I set VST_Path on Kubuntu?

hi, i am on debian testing here, but kubuntu should not differ very much.
so this is what i have added at the end of the .bashrc file in my home directory:

export DSSI_PATH=/usr/local/lib/dssi/:/usr/lib/dssi/
export VST_PATH=/home/nowhiskey/vst/
export LASH_START_SERVER=y
export LADSPA_PATH=/usr/lib/ladspa/:/usr/local/lib/ladspa/

hope it helps!

cheers,
doc

p.s. i am just realizing that this is not fitting here, but it should be 4 lines all beginning with ’export…’

Log off your session, then login again. Run Ardour.

If the problem persists:
- make sure to replace /home/**nowhiskey**/vst with your username.
- locate dssi and ladspa libraries on your system, and change the paths accordingly.

Or if you want to see if it works without logging off, type those lines (or at least the VST_PATH variable) in a terminal and run ardourvst from this same termial. If it works, paste them in your $HOME/.bashrc file.

I think I did, but I will recheck again…it could also be a permission issue…sometimes when I copy the .dlls off of my server, they don’t show up as executable files, then ardour won’t find them…

So, here is what I did…I added the VST_PATH to the quick launcher command, so the command to launch ardour looks like this:

VST_PATH=/home/{my name}/plugins/vst ardourvst

and it works fine now…

Thanks for all the help!
