I am using a Mac OS X v10.6.8. I just downloaded Audacity 2.0.3 from here →
http://audacityteam.org/download/mac
I am trying to save a music file as an mp3. Audacity told me I needed libmp3lame.dylib to do this.
I went here →
http://audacityteam.org/help/faq_i18n?s=install&i=lame-mp3
Which took me here →
http://lame1.buanzo.com.ar/
and downloaded “Lame_Library_v3.98.2_for_Audacity_on_OSX.dmg” which is listed under “For Audacity 1.3.3 or later on Mac OS X 10.4 and greater (Intel or PPC),and Audacity 1.2.5 on OS X 10.4 and later (Intel)” about 2/3 down the page.
I went through all of the installation instructions and got the happy “Successfully Installed” message, but now Audacity is giving me the following message:
“Unable to open target file for writing.”
I even re-checked my steps with this tutorial->

What do I do now? And also, where did it save the “lame library” stuff? I’m not sure where it was saved or even what it is called.
I’m sure you’ve probably answered this question before, so I appreciate your time and consideration!! Thanks!
((and yes, did try turning it off and on again.))
