I've never found a problem like this on Linux, although there are lots of people with quite repeatably broken binaries from various sources (less so in 1.3.x than 1.2.x, where distributions would try and hack in unicode support, get it wrong and break all languages other than English for their users). There are also more than usual issues with wxwidgets because it's usually installed as a shared library, and a good many package management systems don't understand shared library versioning (even though the Linux dynamic linker understands it very well). Mac has always been hairy because of sound devices mainly - a significant number of people seem to find that it just doesn't play ball with their hardware (hardware abstraction seems to be rather less than complete for OSX). It's only really windows which seems to have these "works for me but not for you" type issues in core audacity code, but that might be to some extent down to numbers of users. Richard |
