LinuxSampler doesn't see gigedit

Hi all,

I've installed linuxsampler and gigedit on Arch, but qsampler won't open gigedit when I click ‘Edit’:

Code: Select all

Channel 0

Could not launch an appropriate instrument editor for the given instrument!

Make sure you have an appropriate instrument editor like 'gigedit' installed and that it placed its mandatory DLL file into the sampler's plugin directory.
/usr/lib/linuxsampler/plugins/ is empty, and copying the files from /usr/lib/gigedit/ there doesn't make a difference.

Any advice appreciated (:

Tom

Hello!

I'm seeing this problem too (on Arch). It seems to have started very recently.

If anyone could advise as to how to track down what the problem is, I'd appreciate it. I've tried tracing the process with strace but no luck. It happens under both qsampler and jsampler, so I'm guessing it's a problem with linuxsampler itself as opposed to being an issue with a frontend.

Edit: Nice coincidence with the usernames. :shock:

David Runge just pushed a new gigedit package that appears to fix the problem.

Nice. I updated and can now open gigedit properly :​)

Praise be to David Runge.
