Hi,
sending the 'info' message, doesn't produce anything, not even an
error message in the pd window. The 'listplugins' message crashes pd,
and also opening your patch causes the crash, I think because I don't
have hexter installed, so I'm trying to compile dssi (not dssi~!) and
hexter but I have some problems compiling them.

But the good news are that dssi~ loads the plugins correctly it seems,
at least it creates different inlets according to different plugins. I
read from another email that it is not necessary to install ladspa SDK
in order to have listplugins working, but I couldn't understand if I
have to install jutils, or in which way jutils are related with dssi~.

Thanks
