Ardour, LV2, Invada, Zynjacku and Dependencies

First answer: You need the LV2 libraries installed before you compile Ardour. Here's a post regarding a .deb that should have LV2 support (i.e. it was made with a system that had LV2 libraries) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1216446

Second answer: Ardour 2.8.2 is already part of Karmic Koala (9.10) but the LV2 libraries are NOT yet officially packaged for Ubuntu, so the official ardour package doesn't yet have LV2 support. Some people are working to resolve this soon (but I doubt it will make it into 9.10, probably 10.04).

Third answer: I think the package you're looking for is: libgtk2.0-dev
I came to this conclusion by running apt-cache search gtk+ | grep dev | grep 2which searches all packages for any mention of gtk+ then narrows the field to only those lines that mention dev and then further narrows the filed to only those lines that mention 2.


I hope that helps.

I have Zynjacku in my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~thir/+archive/ppa), as well as another LV2 host - Ingen. Zynjacku is more stable, mind you. Ingen will still crash with many LV2 plugins.

Can you post the output of apt-cache policy libvamp-hostsdk2

Edit: Did you do an 'apt-get update' after adding his repositories? That's very dangerous. I notice there are a number of backports from Karmic in there, including libraw1394-2.0 - which needs support in the kernel turned on for it to work - but no kernel recompiles are in that repository to fix this issue. You may need to 'apt-get purge' every one of his packages (provided it doesn't remove major important chunks of your OS) and re-install from the official repositories. If you have done an 'apt-get update' I advise you seek professional support (or at least guru level community support) in fixing your operating system. Maybe Griska can help explain things.

You need to remove all the packages you installed from that repository and re-install them from the official repository.

EDIT: I've also dicovered that Hexter, Jamin and Sooperlooper won't start now either. These are the error messages.

Hexter

dawiba@ubuntustudio:~$ jack-dssi-host hexter.so

jack-dssi-host: Warning: DSSI path not set
jack-dssi-host: Defaulting to "/usr/local/lib/dssi:/usr/lib/dssi:/home/dawiba/.dssi"

Jamin

dawiba@ubuntustudio:~$ jamin
jamin: error while loading shared libraries: liblo.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

SooperLooper

dawiba@ubuntustudio:~$ /usr/bin/slgui
/usr/bin/slgui: error while loading shared libraries: liblo.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

As before, I'd be grateful for any help :)

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/liblo.so.7.0.0 /usr/lib/liblo.so.0
will fix this.

Thanks Grishka, but you're too late! I tried removing packages and only ended up in a worse mess :oops:

The moral?

If it isn't broken, don't fix it! :)

Now where did I leave my UbuntuStudio DVD?......

DON'T PANIC. I've safely downgraded all these packages to their default versions many times in the past. fire up Synaptic, choose a faulty package, and switch the version from CTRL+E menu. purging is an overkill.

Wow, I swear I learn something new everyday with this OS. Sorry for mentioning the purge method.
