firstly, stop top posting, you broke the reading flow. secondly, why audacity from aur? Is our audacity from extra broken? From what i see, audacity from extra is compiled using their internal ffmpeg version. If you want external ffmpeg, add --with-ffmpeg to configure

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?

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
