Try setting the path variables and add your directory/directories:

export VST_PATH=$VST_PATH:/usr/lib/vst:/usr/local/lib/vst
export LV2_PATH=$LV2_PATH:/usr/lib/lv2:/usr/local/lib/lv2:\
/home/ag/Music/Qtractor/lv2
export DSSI_PATH=$DSSI_PATH:/usr/lib/dssi:/usr/local/lib/dssi
export LADSPA_PATH=$LADSPA_PATH:/usr/lib/ladspa:/usr/local/lib/ladspa
