Running on Suse10.3, audacity loaded from Packman
When started the disk runs, but then stops and there is no window. Just sits there until I ^C
1.3.3(beta) from SuSE is OK, but the the Packman version (1.3.7) shows this behaviour.
This has been the case for a while

Re: Audacitry is invisible
Sounds like there is a problem with the Packman build. You should contact them about this issue - there are probably some dependencies missing.

Re: Audacitry is invisible
I think I may be having the same problem on Gentoo. 1.3.5 worked fine but with 1.3.6 I see the window flash onto the screen and disappear. The program doesn't terminate, write anything to stdout or stderr, or take lots of CPU. If it's a problem with a missing dependency shouldn't the linker have failed?
I'm re-building 1.3.5 to make sure this problem isn't due to some other package changing, and I'll look at ldd output each version's audacity binary. I'll post the results here (eventually... the compile is still going). If it looks like it's due to the audacity change I'll try building from the official source to make sure it's not a Gentoo issue. Are there specific libraries I should be watching out for here?

Re: Audacitry is invisible
Alright, the 1.3.5 build works ok. The ldd delta is: 1.3.6 requires liblrdf.so.2, libraptor.so.1, and libxslt.so.1, which are not needed by 1.3.5, and which exist on my system. If the delta should be greater that could indicate that a dependency wasn't there for the build and the build didn't know it was necessary, I guess. I'll try to build from official 1.3.6 source maybe tomorrow evening, I have to get some sleep now.
