Exactly which package did you try ? I recommend installing the .rpm first: if
there are no library version issues (unfortunately still common on Linux), you
should use that, as it is both the most complete package and you should not
need to set environment variables yourself. It also statically links against
less commonly used libraries like PortAudio or PortMidi, so you do not have
to install those.

If you could not get the .rpm to work, try the .tar.gz packages next - while
less functionality is included, these were built on an older distribution and
thus may work better on older distributions. It is possible that you may need
to set the environment variable OPCODEDIR or OPCODEDIR64 if plugins like
PortAudio are not found.

Building from sources should only be the last resort, unless you actually
intend to develop Csound.
