So, you need to make sure that your new working environment contains the same symlink and lib. Typically, this is done by installing libfluidsynth1 My clear recommendation though: Do yourself a favor and get rid of fluidsynth 1.x Unfortunately, fluidsynth-dssi upstream is dormant. But there is a fork of fluidsynth-dssi, that has been ported to fluidsynth's new API: https://github.com/schnitzeltony/fluidsynth-dssi Tom _______________________________________________ fluid-dev mailing list fluid-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fluid-dev
