Audacity: error while loading shared libraries: lib-screen-geometry.so:

I have Audacity installed from the galaxy repo and I've recently been getting this error when launching.

"audacity: error while loading shared libraries: lib-screen-geometry.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

I checked  /usr/lib/audacity and the file exists there so I'm not sure what the issue is.

Any ideas? Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Thanks

Hello,

I have the same problem.

For now, I'm using an Appimage :

Thanks. I ended up grabbing the appimage for now as well. Hopefully the issue gets sorted out. There isn't much out there about it yet. Thanks for the suggestion

I've got audacity running by manually setting the library path:

Code: [Select]
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/audacity" audacity

Hope this helps.

Regards.

I've been using the appimage while waiting for the package to be fixed. I will try this remedy in the meantime then. Thanks!! Much appreciated
