I'm actually having problems with this. I switched over to Ubuntu recently and love your plugin and used it with my mac. I first installed it using the .deb file on your site but quickly realized that the .deb only has the standalone in it. I'd like to use it in Tracktion or Renoise.

I finally saw that KXstudio has helm in their repo. However, when I installed that, there was no presets and i can't save any presets either. I've tried the import bank on the browse page but it's looking for .helmbanks and not patches. I've tried loading some third party .helmbank files and they don't work either. I can't seem to import individuals presets anywhere on the software either. i've moved some files around to the different locations to see if my i had things in wrong file locations but nothing

GNU/Linux: Standalone - /usr/bin/helm. LV2 - /usr/lib/lv2/helm.lv2 VST - /usr/lib/lxvst/helm.so (if installed). Local Presets - ~/.helm/patches Factory Files - /usr/share/helm/ Config File - ~/.helm/Helm.config

so then I thought maybe I was being lazy and I should build it from source. I downloaded the zip from your github page and tried compiling it but i ran into this error

This was a resolved from issue #60 and from what i could understand, it was fixed in the development branch so I've tried to build from the dev source with the same problem. I'm kind of out of ideas at this point.

Do you have any suggestions?
