Re: Audacity Won't Start

[Craig Lanning <craig.t.lanning@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your answers.

Martin, there was no output.  I would type 'audacity file.wav' and it would just return to the command prompt.

Andrew, Your suggestion worked fine.  I deleted the '.audacity-data' directory and it then worked just fine.

Thanks to both of you for your help.

Craig

Hi Craig,
        I found this problem as well.
I cured it with a hammer - rm -rf ~/.audacity-data
But you may not want to do that!
