I downloaded Pd's source and built libpd only (I have already built Pd) 
and the whole process worked! Is what I'm looking for the PureVST.so 
file? When I set the path to this file in Reaper's or Ardour's VST 
search paths I do get a PureVST-0.5(msp)(20 ch) plugin, but it's a 
window with 20 sliders. There's an "open" button for Pd's gui, but 
clicking on it just freezes both software (Reaper or Ardour) whether the 
track where I set the plugin plays or not.

I've read that Reaper has some issues with this, not sure if it's this 
one. Are we supposed to be able to patch within the plugin like it is 
with plugdata? If not, what do these sliders do?

Thanks for the help so far.
