Missing Change Tempo and Change Pitch

I recently compiled Audacity 1.3.11, but Change Tempo and Change Pitch are missing. I have libsoundtouch1c2, libsoundtouch1-dev, and soundstretch installed.

I just ran:

Code: Select all

 sudo apt-get build-dep audacity 
./configure
make
make install
and it went through and built cleanly. (Ubuntu 9.10 with ALSA sound system)

Already did a build-dep before compiling. Didn't work.

The last build that I did was on a "virgin" install of "Ubuntu minimal" with not much more than ALSA and LXDE desktop added. I used the commands listed in my last post and the Audacity 1.3.12 RC1 minimal tarball which is available here: http://code.google.com/p/audacity/downl ... nloadCount

I am using Audacity 1.3.13 beta on an AMD64 Fedora 13 and the Change Pitch and Change Tempo Effects are missing. The Fedora repositories only offer beta versions.

The solutions mentioned so far appear to be hit or miss. Unfortunately I only realized this midway into an extensive project. This issue seems to have been brought up and recurring for several years. Has anyone found a definitive reason and fix for this?

BTW. IT tried the Audacity-Freeworld version because it was supposed to solve the problem where MP3 files could not be imported. That version didn't solved that nor none of these problems on my system.

The solution is having a compatible version of libsoundtouch and soundstretch installed. These are the libraries that Audacity uses to perform time stretching.

I've not actually come across this problem in quite a while as other distributions that had the problem appear to fixed it. Assuming that Fedora is your distribution of choice you may want to bring it to their attention that their build of Audacity is missing these effects.

I found soundtouch and soundstretch was installed on my system. I can only assume that the Fedora builds were incomplete. I did a build from full source and now everything is functional.

Thanks for your time.
