[gentoo-user] Ladspa plugins installed twice (multilib)

[Lasse Pouru]

I can't seem to get rid of the 32-bit versions of ladspa plugins. Even
with the -abi_x86_32 flag set for the packages in question (ladspa-cmt,
ladspa-sdk, swh-plugins, tap-plugins) both versions get installed (under
/usr/lib/ladspa and /usr/lib64/ladspa). This is an annoyance because
every plugins shows up twice in Audacity. I also have a similar issue
with LMMS, every instrument is listed twice. (I don't know which
package(s) these instruments come from.)

I have ABI_X86 set to "32 64" in make.conf, does this override the
-abi_x86_32 use flag?

/usr/lib is usually a symlink to /usr/lib/64 so you may have only one set
of plugins but the software is seeing them twice. Can you change the
patchs it look in? Or you could try the 17.1 profile, which removes this
symlink - read the news item first.

Oh, I see. Switching to 17.1 seems like something I'd rather not do
right now. In Audacity it should be possible to manually disable all the
duplicates but for LMMS there doesn't seem to be such an option.
