I have finally managed to get it working after much tweaking - I tired about a year ago without success. The main obstacle was getting the Steinberg SDK - despite registering multiple times the site would never let me log in which seemed to be because of a UK address - you might want to relocate to Germany if you have the same problem ;) I am running a 64bit box in ubuntustudio 64 karmic 2.6.31-9-rt. Other problems included using wine 1.2 development which gave errors but when I switched back to wine 1.0.1 compiling went without a hitch. Another issue is where to put the generated wineasio.dll.so file - make install puts it in usr/lib which is probably fine for 32bit setup but will mean that register ing the wineasio.dll doesnt work. Moving the dll to lib32/wine fixes this. One other thing I had to do was in wine config was under the libraries tab was to specify the wineasio from the drop down list. Also selecting the ALSA from audio rather than JACK. Thank you for the guide. I have finally managed to get it working after much tweaking – I tired about a year ago without success.

I had a small error in JACK that was related to having the Real Time checkbox checked. JACK would start and then stop with an error almost immediately. Here’s the message window output, in case anyone is seeing something similar:

It stops at Social networking , at filtering . I wonder what the problem could be . I doubt that the problem is with my system (Athlon X2 4600 + , 2 GB RAM , ...) as I could finish the test with Firefox 3.5.6 (terrible 1343 points ) . But I guess your test gives me the conclusion (Thanks for that ) so I'll keep my Epiphany browser .

However, now when I try to start Reaper, the minimized window with "Starting Reaper" shows up, nothing else happens, and then that disappears. Not sure what the problem is.
