Hi, I included ghostess into musix's trivial repository: It works fine here, I like its capability to edit whysynth's patches (of course, it can edit another DSSI instruments too). # /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://www.musix.distrux.net/deb/ ./ apt-get install ghostess-20050916 Hey, it's an experimental repository, so, dont expect too much about it ;) Screenshot: http://www.musix.org.ar/img/tn-ghostess-dssi-musix030.png A few related links: http://home.jps.net/%7Emusound/index.html https://www.musix.org.ar/wiki/index.php/Ghostest#Compilando_ghostess https://www.musix.org.ar/wiki/index.php/Musix030-test-anuncio1 pd: also Chris Cannam tell us how does DSSI GUIs works:

Another reason this sometimes happens is that the local host name or localhost is not in /etc/hosts (or resolvable via DNS in the case of the host name). The OSC communications library we use (liblo) seems to depend on this.
