Details
Description:
When suil 0.10.16-1 is installed, GUI windows of LV2 based plugins do not appear in Ardour 6.9 (installed as ardour from community). Instead, the following error message is printed in Ardour's terminal output: ``` suil error: Failed to open module /usr/local/lib/suil-0/libsuil_x11_in_gtk2.so (/usr/local/lib/suil-0/libsuil_x11_in_gtk2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) ``` Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a session in Ardour. 2. Add an LV2 plugin to a track. 3. Double click on the plugin's name in the Editor Mixer (can be toggled with Shift+E). Additional info: * Package version(s): suil 0.10.16-1, ardour 6.9-5 * Upstream bug report: https://gitlab.com/lv2/suil/-/issues/5 * Under the upstream bug report, it was suggested that I report this here as well, and also that the right value needs to be passed on to meson inside PKGBUILD. * The issue does not occur with suil 0.10.12-2. |

As already mentioned in the upstream report, arch-meson is passing "--prefix /usr", so that's not the cause. Checking with "strings", there is no reference to "local" at all in the suil binary pkg. Something else is going on here... Also, GTK2 support was removed in latest Arch update so where is the reference to "libsuil_x11_in_gtk2.so" coming from?
It appears your system might be polluted with some local and/or AUR rubbish?
Reaper opens GUI of the same plugins fine.
Well, everything is installed either through pacman or paru. I checked the output of pacman -Qm and removed a single AUR package that might be even remotely related (surge-xt-bin), but the results are the same.

So, that is why libsuil_x11_in_gtk2.so is missing from 0.10.16-1, even though Ardour needs it.
I was not aware this would affect ardour directly. Will have a look.
It's very unfortunate that ardour's upstream is not working at all on getting rid of the gtk2 dependency. This way ardour will eventually be removed from the repositories and also require a substantial build overhead in the AUR (e.g. custom suil version), making it disappear into obscurity (aka. manual website downloads only).
