[Bug] Error when adding a CALF effect

I had the same problem. My config was latest patchbox and latest modep.

Importantly (I think) is that I’d installed the plugins using the approach described here

The command

file /var/modep/lv2/calf.lv2/calf.so

reports
/var/modep/lv2/calf.lv2/calf.so: broken symbolic link to ../../../lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/calf/calf.so

The symbolic link /var/modep/lv2/calf.lv2/calf.so has a relative path of …/…/…/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/calf/calf.so, which resolves to /var/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/calf/calf.so which does not exist.

I used the following to update the symbolic link (and update its ownership and permissions) to point to /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/calf/calf.so

ln -sf /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/calf/calf.so /var/modep/lv2/calf.lv2/calf.so
sudo chown modep:modep /var/modep/lv2/calf.lv2/calf.so
sudo chmod 775 /var/modep/lv2/calf.lv2/calf.so

and I can now add Calf plugins successfully :slight_smile:

I’m not sure if there might be any other plugins that have a similar issue.

S’manth x
