Audacity + LAME = no work

[david_banner]

Installed Audacity; went to convert mp4 to mp3 and forgot it doesn't have that plugin compiled into it, so went and got LAME from the repo and installed it, but it seems Audacity still doesn't recognise LAME as a plugin by default; and it looks like you might have to point Audacity to see it....I think, through; Edit >> Preferences >> Libraries >> Locate. But there is no working /usr/lib64/libmp3lame.so.0 when you select it.

What's the missing step?

Thanks.

if you have lame you probably got packman's repo but from what repo is audacity as both packman and the oss have it
http://packman.links2linux.org/package/audacity
https://software.opensuse.org/package/audacity
packman haven't updated their site for leap links so the only way to get audacity from packman is with zypper or yast, post

zypper lr -d

as dup to packman might be needed

Also check that you actually installed the package libmp3lame0, this is what contains /usr/lib64/libmp3lame.so.0.

Thanks, I haven't got round to sorting the repos out yet as I just grabbed them all during installation.

The LAME is from Packman. The Audacity 2.1.1-94.1 I had instaled was from Packman (links2linux.de) I think (I removed it but the radio button devualts to it in Yast). There is one other from OSS (2.1.1-32) and another from 'openSUSE 42.1-0'

Also check that you actually installed the package libmp3lame0, this is what contains /usr/lib64/libmp3lame.so.0.

yeah , came in with LAME by the looks of it

do a dup with packman

sudo zypper dup --from 9

as a dup from packman is really a necessity after an opensuse install

[david_banner]

Thanks, that seems to have done it, didn't know about that.

Now to start a new thread about: KDEInit could not launch '/usr/lib64/libexec/kf5/kioexec'
