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.
