Ardour rationale is to comply with VST3 specification: https://developer.steinberg.help/display/VST/Plug-in+Locations/ They expect plugins to be in /usr/lib/vst3/. Maybe the package could create a link from /usr/lib/vst3/ to /usr/lib64/vst3 to solve this issue? I cannot delete or even edit my own comments?? Note that I have been able to rebuild the RPM with 6.9.0, I could propose a patch and test, but I would appreciate a direction: - Patch the hardcoded list https://github.com/Ardour/ardour/blob/fad71ce748fd244611ffad397fd0c51ecbe72334/libs/ardour/plugin_manager.cc#L2055 - Create a symbolic link from /usr/lib/vst3 to /usr/lib64/vst3 (IF /usr/lib/vst3 does not already exist of course) - Add a file to /etc/profile.d to set VST3_PATH=/usr/lib64/vst3 environment variable? - Patch the script to set VST3_PATH=VST3_PATH:/usr/lib64/vst3 https://github.com/Ardour/ardour/blob/master/gtk2_ardour/ardour.sh.in ? Which way should I go to make Ardour work out-of-the-box without bothering users? This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 34 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 34 on 2022-06-07. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of '34'.

If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report. @brunovern.a Do you have any vst3 packages that install in /usr/lib64/vst3 ? I don't, but https://steinbergmedia.github.io/vst3_dev_portal/pages/Technical+Documentation/Locations+Format/Plugin+Format.html defines the vst3 format as bundles (directories) that (can) contain multiple architectures, for example both MyPlugin.vst3/Contents/i386-linux/ and MyPlugin.vst3/Contents/x86_64-linux/ . There is thus no good FHS / packaging compliant place for such files. But https://steinbergmedia.github.io/vst3_dev_portal/pages/Technical+Documentation/Locations+Format/Plugin+Locations.html says /usr/lib/vst3/ , and I think the Fedora package should follow upstream and support that without adding to the proliferation of non-standard plugin locations.
