I have been using audacity for many years and suddenly it wont run.
Mint 17.3 kernel 3.19.0-32-generic #37~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP
audacity 2.0.5
If I try to launch it from a terminal i get
(process:5626): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: Attempt to add property GnomeProgram::sm-connect after class was initialised
(process:5626): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: Attempt to add property GnomeProgram::show-crash-dialog after class was initialised

audacity: symbol lookup error: audacity: undefined symbol: Pa_GetStreamHostApiType
It will run if I launch it from a terminal this way:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ audacity
I have deleted .audacity and its contents, cleared the lock file, I ran ldconfig and tried removing and installing audacity again but nothing changes it.
The /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ is in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/
I then uninstalled 2.05, deleted .audacity and the lock file.
I added the audacity ppa and installed 2.1.2 and get the same problem.
Does anyone know how to solve this please?
