I’m trying to compile Ardour 2.8.4 under openSUSE 11.2 with VST support. I think I’ve installed all the dependencies, but when I run scons I come up with this:
[usual ****]
...
Checking for C header file fftw3.h... no
Ardour cannot be compiled without the FFTW3 headers, which do not seem to be installed
Only thing is, in YaST2 I’ve already installed fftw, fftw-devel,fftw3 and fftw3-devel.
i’m not certain this the following is still true (because i think YaST
does this automatically, however) from my long list of stuff other
folks taught me, i find:
If you installed a new library during your travels, you need to run
ldconfig to rescan the libraries. Rather like a giant ‘hash table’
which lets linux link libraries faster.
After installing, or doing anything which changes/add/removes a library…
(as root)
ldconfig
The libraries are rescanned on a boot… which is why it worked after
the reboot.
