I tried every combination of repo and AUR versions of Audacity, FFMPEG, and LibAV libraries, and I was not able to find a way to give Audacity the file named libavformat.so.52 which it wants to much. So far as I have been able to tell, all of the versions of FFMPEG and LibAV either don't compile or produce libavformat.so.53, which the available versions of Audacity won't touch.
Anyone have a solution? I would try Ubuntu deb's, but I am concerned with introducing more conflicts instead of eliminating just one!
have you actually tried to recompile audacity?
Yes, via AUR. The AUR version recompiled fine, but in the preferences when run, it says that it is compiled without FFMPEG support.
J.E.B.
Hey, you could have just pacman -S abs and executed the abs script. Then you could have copied the directory in /var/abs/extra/audacity to the build folder in your ~, which is preferably in ~/abs. In said directory there's a PKGBUILD which lets you rebuild the exact [extra] package yourself. Source [1]. cheers! mar77i [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ABS
