Lame encoding library not found

Hello, I recently did a system restore on my computer and had to redownload audacity and llame encoder. I have used these before and installed as I have before but when I go to export as mp3 i get the llame library not found. Any ideas?

thanks!

I presume that you are using Audacity 2.0.2? (please check by looking in “Help > About Audacity”)

For installing LAME it is important to follow the instructions exactly as written.
The instructions are here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_installation_and_plug_ins.html#lame
If the first method does not work, please follow the steps in the “troubleshooting” section.
