Hi,

sorry, i would be very grateful if somebody could help me with this. 

I am trying to explain a number of issues here. One relates to the libosc library in version 5.04. 
The other one describes another attempt to install 5.08.
All versions are double samples.

I installed 5.04 on my Suse 10.2 AMD64, because i had difficulties with the 5.08 installer earlier.
In version 5.04, which runs excellent otherwise, i get an error from csound only when using the osc opcodes:
# WARNING: could not open library '/usr/local/csound64_64/libosc.so' (/usr/local/csound64_64/libosc.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32)
which indicates the libosc library isn't 64 bit.

I wrote a de-install script and deleted the 5.04 version.

I tried the 5.08 installer again and it worked fine.
I ran ldconfig just in case.

But, when running the csound command i received:
# /usr/local/bin/csound: line 2: export: `/usr/local/share/locale=/usr/local/csound64_64': not a valid identifier
# Localisation of messages is disabled, using default language.
# Error opening plugin directory '/usr/local/lib64/csound/plugins64': No such file or directory

So i had to change the csound script. 
This line in csound apparently doesn't work on my machine:
export /usr/local/share/locale="/usr/local/csound64_64"

After examining the earlier csound script i changed the above line to:
export OPCODEDIR64="/usr/local/csound64_64"

now csound runs but, in my shell it says it is version 5.06:
# Csound version 5.06 (double samples) Jun  6 2007
And he is not loading any of the opcodes.

I can de-install 5.08 and install 5.04, and it is back to version 5.04:
# Csound version 5.04.0 (double samples) Nov 10 2006
fine, but without libosc.

thanks for your time and and awful many thanks for your help!
