slackware Eleven install Audacity sound editor?
Has anyone succeeded in installing the Audacity sound editor
in Slackware Eleven? I have installed the program with audacity-1.3.0-i486-1ron.tgz and audacity-1.3.0b-i486-1kjz.tgz but when I try to run them from /usr/local/bin both of them asked to files not on the system. So I found those files and installed them, but they asked for yet more files I did not have, ending with libwx-gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0 which I can't find anywhere. And I tried to install Audacity from source as well, but again, no luck. I suspect it's got something to do with wxWidgets, but I'm sort of tired of chaseing the rabbit, you know. Audacity is a fine sound editor and I ran it on Slackware 10.0 Has anyone got it to work with Slackware Eleven? How? |
Sounds to me like you need to install the wxGTK library....go to linuxpackages.net and do a search for it (it's there as I just checked). I would probably almost bet you may need another library as well...I haven't looked into audacity so I dunno off hand what it needs. But I know when I was configuring my media players, it's like I needed 7 or 8 additional libaries and codecs and such before the thing would finally run. So, be prepared in the event it asks you for another one. Linuxpackages is a great site for Slack users.

Take a look at SlackBuilds.org. There you will find a build script for Audacity and its requirements.

Thanks! I have got Audacity running and it looks real good.
Installed: wxGTK-2.6.3-i486.1asz.tgz then audacity-1.3.0b-i486-1kjz.tgz This got Audacity running fine. Since then I've installed the plugins from CMT, LADSPA, and SWH-LADSPA. They add a lot of functionality to Audacity. Great stuff! Thanks again. |
