hi,

i've used jsyn under windows, and as my interest has grown in linux, i'd 
like to begin developing jsyn instruments on this OS as well.

i've gotten the jsyn sdk tar file from the site and set my classpath to 
include the jar files...

when i try to run my code, i'm getting errors when the i start the synth 
engine for my own code. here's the error:

Exception in thread "main" com.softsynth.jsyn.SynthException: JSyn 
error: Could not access JSyn synthesis engine. - JSyn not properly 
installed, or web page is not calling smart_embed_jsyn.js!, 0x0=0, 
0x0=0
at com.softsynth.jsyn.SynthContext.checkEngineAccess(Unknown 
Source)
at com.softsynth.jsyn.SynthContext.<init>(Unknown Source)

at com.softsynth.jsyn.Synth.startEngine(Unknown Source)
at Sampler.<init>(Sampler.java:387) 
at Sampler.main(Sampler.java:433) 

i am (oddly enough) able to run the beep test just fine using the gmake 
provided....however, i am having trouble running some of my old code 
that i developed under windows. it compiles, but does not run.

i know that the windows jsyn sdk comes with a .dll file which must be 
placed in the win32 folder, or a similar error occurs. the linux 
release comes with a .so file in the lib/ subdir, which i am assuming, 
perhaps incorrectly, is a kernel module for the synth engine.

if someone knows how i might be able to accomplish this installation, or 
has any suggestions that may help, i'd be most appreciative. i'm kind 
of a linux newbie when it comes to dealing with the kernel and 
inserting/extracting modules, so please be nice ;-) 

thanks a mille,

brook davis
