i suppose you're trying to run windows VSTi (.dll's) and still the existing way to get them to work on qtractor is about and through DSSI-VST.
that means you'll have to install the "dssi-vst" package, if available, and search and select for plugins under the DSSI type; dssi-vst is a plugin bridge that lets you run MS-Windows VSTi plugins on Linux through WINE, dssi-vst do searches for VSTi .dll's under the directories given by the VST_PATH environment variable.
you said you already have success with Festige so all that is just for your information, in case you missed :)
also, you don't need to install the VST-SDK at all, even though you're not building/compiling from source code.
hi,
hope you're out of trouble by now :)
