Audacity

[kc1di]

Has anyone gotten Audacity installed and working on Vector 5.9 RC3?

I have it installed but get the following error message when I try to run it:

audacity: error while loading shared libraries: libtwolame.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

any help appreciated.

Try 'slapt-get --install twolame', then '/sbin/ldconfig' if it still doesn't work.

Hmm

There appear to be two problems with the audacity package. It needs to add twolame as a dependency and requires an newer version of wxGTK than what that we have.

I have audacity working in VL 5.9 RC3

I got the same error installed twolame, made sure I wasn't running any music software and ran it, and have run it since no issue as long as I dont' have something using my sound card.

Thank you wil try that today.

I only had to add twolame, and re-run the program. I did so with the terminal open and no error came up.

Shouldn't the package's doinst.sh be performing ldconfig? If not, I would be interested in learning more about the reasoning.

Just a hunch, But I know the media bonus cd has a newer version of wxGTK, and I'd bet that audacity came from it as well since much of what is on the CD is in the repos as well.  I'm guessing the audacity package was built against that version of wxGTK.

That's what rbistolfi thought as well.

I've install Twolame now get the following error message.. I have jack-audio installed.

audacity: error while loading shared libraries: libjack.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Damn... slapt-get --install jack I guess?

I've got this kind of issue for other apps I have tried to add even though gslapt said they were installed...my most specific example I can recall is with ruby ripper, I'd heard good things about it, added the dependences I could via gslapt and when trying to install the check said they weren't present.  Same thing when I was trying to add VLC

I'm just saying I had the same problem although not with Audacity.

Does any one have suggestions to make installs more consistent and successful?

I Already have Jack installed so must be something else that I'm missing just don't know what. Will keep trying.

[rbistolfi]

what says the output of ls -l /usr/lib/libjack* ?

Thank you I don't know why I did not check that before It showed that jack was not installed even thoug Gsplat said it was. re-installed with slapt-get and now Audacity is work.
Thanks,
Happy Holidays.

The dependency data need to be fixed though...
