Shared Plugins

Plugins may be used by a range of different hosts. However, the

host needs to be able to find the plugins. Hosts vary, however the

recommended method uses the environment variable

LADSPA_PATH. If present, this should contain a

colon-separated path indicating directories that should be searched

(in order) when loading plugin types.

It is recommended for standard Linux distributions such as RedHat,

that this plugin path should be

/home/<user>/.ladspa:/usr/local/lib/ladspa:/usr/lib/ladspa.

Plugins can then be installed into /usr/local/lib/ladspa/

or /usr/lib/ladspa/.

You may wish to add a line such as the following to your

.bash_profile login file (if you use Bash): export

LADSPA_PATH=$LADSPA_PATH:/home/<user>/.ladspa:/usr/local/lib/ladspa:/usr/lib/ladspa

To list the plugins that can be found on your

LADSPA_PATH, run the listplugins

program.
