Which Linux distribution?
Which version of Audacity? (look in "Help > About Audacity")
How did you install Audacity?

What were the exact settings that you used in Vocal Remover?
Were you applying it to a stereo track?
Was there an error message before the debug screen?

Open Audacity, create a mono audio track and select it. Then from the Effect menu choose "Nyquist Prompt".
Copy and paste the following code into the Nyquist Prompt text box and click the "Debug" button.
What happens?

Code: Select all

(print s)
(setf test "1 2 3")
(print (read-line (make-string-input-stream test)))

"error: unbound function - |PRiNT|" and before that, "Nyquist did not return audio."

Your Audacity installation is very broken.
This is not a "bug", it's a problem with your installation. Try removing Audacity completely (probably easiest to do with Synaptic Package Manage), reboot, then reinstall.
I can't imagine what has caused this but it seems like several files are completely missing :?

Sorry for late answer. These effects don't work. Only first part of effects (before 1-61 effects) running. I think the problem is Nyquist. :oops:

Nyquist is shipped as part of Audacity. I've used Audacity 2.0.3 in Ubuntu 13.10 and it worked fine.
Have you tried completely removing Audacity and reinstalling it?
