Audacity don't start on fedora 22 [SOLVED]

Post by kollins » Sat Aug 22, 2015 1:59 pm

I've just installed audacity on fedora 22 64-bits and when I try to start it I got this message:

Code: Select all

audacity: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2u_xrc-3.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I did:

Code: Select all

sudo find / -name 'libwx_gtk2u_xrc-3.0.so.0'
And it find libwx_gtk2u_xrc-3.0.so.0 on /usr/local/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-3.0.so.0.

Is this the Audacity version you were building yourself? What version of Audacity did you build? HEAD? 2.1.1 release?

Did you perform ldconfig after installing widgets?

Yes, it's the 2.1.1 version.

I didn't know about this command. I just ran it and now Audacity is working.

Thanks.
