That is strange. I wonder if they were compiled with slightly different constraints, so one wants >= .0, and one wants == .0 . If you are feeling adventurous you could create a symbolic link to the so.1 file for the so.0 file. (with su or root) e.g. ln -s /usr/lib64/libSoundTouch.so.1 /usr/lib64/libSoundTouch.so.0 The paths might be different on your system. The reason that is a little risky is that the .1 version might have a different api than the .0 version. But the difference might be completely irrelevant to audacity, because it might not use the part that changed. For what it's worth, the audacity here is version 2.1.3, and it uses the .1 version of the SoundTouch library without problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *********** ASKING FOR HELP ************* When asking for help on this list, please include the following information, so we can help you properly: * What operating system you are using (for example, Windows XP or Mac OS X 10.5.1) * Exactly what three digit version number of Audacity you are using (Help > About Audacity, or Audacity > About Audacity on a Mac computer) * If this is a recording problem, what equipment you are recording with, and how is it connected to the computer?
