That’s a good and valid point.  I’ll look into the build to see what the deal is…

Subject: [Audacity-devel] Why are modules in /usr/share?

 

Looking at the compilation results of the Fedora build for audacity, I noticed that there is a library file being compiled into /usr/share/audacity//modules/mod-script-pipe.so - which is not good. /usr/share is meant to be architecture-independent files, and any architecture-specific code should be put into the /usr/lib* directories instead of the /usr/share directories - so a better place for it would be /usr/lib64/audacity/modules/mod-script-pipe.so (on 64-bit installs).

 

Thanks,

-Ian
