Help for Audacity on GNU/Linux.
Forum rules
This forum is for Audacity on GNU/Linux.
Please state:
- which version of Linux you are using,
- the exact three-section version number of Audacity from Help menu > About Audacity,
- whether you installed your distribution's release, PPA version, or compiled Audacity from source code.
Audacity 1.2.x and 1.3.x are obsolete and no longer supported. If you still have those versions, please upgrade (see
https://www.audacityteam.org/download/).
The old forums for those versions are now closed, but you can still read the archives of the
1.2.x and
1.3.x forums.

Gnome2 accessibility is enabled and this requires libgail-gnome which is not available anymore
This occurs even if audacity is compiled with wxGTK3.
To disable gnome2 accessibility, use the command:
Code: Select all
gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility --type bool false
After that, audacity starts properly again
Thanks for posting.
So if you run that command, even the Fedora-packaged version of Audacity launches, and so it is a packaging problem?
The current Audacity 2.1.2 source code requires wxGTK 3.0.x, preferably 3.0.2. If you compile wxWidgets yourself it should be built with the default gtk2 option, not with gtk3.

Did this (very old) thread allow you to resolve the issue? If so, what exactly did you do to fix the problem?
