I looked for that just now with 'locate ladspa' and found no such symbolic link. But, I did find /etc/profile.d/ladspa.csh and /etc/profile.d/ladspa.sh, each of which set LADSPA_PATH in the environment. I had my LADSPA_PATH set to /usr/lib/ladspa/ and I don't set that in my shell's RC files anywhere. I unset LADSPA_PATH in my environment and found that now audacity finds only one copy of each plugin. > I should point out that the "listplugins" utility only shows > ONE version of each plugin. It does not stutter. With LADSPA_PATH set, then listplugins finds one copy of each plugin. With LADSPA_PATH unset, then listplugins complains about that and finds zero plugins. > Neither does jack-rack seem to stutter. I get one listing for > each plugin in jack-rack.

Yes, I've seen that as well. > I'd love to know how to fix it, but for now it is just mildly annoying. I don't know that unsetting LADSPA_PATH could be considered a fix. But, it does seem to reduce the annoyance. I say it's not a fix because I would think a fix would show the right number of plugins in applications like audacity and with ladspa's own listplugins.
