To the best of my knowledge /usr/lib is not hardcoded anywhere. I would guess at some secondary module loading dependency.

Subject: Re: [Csnd] CsoundVST problem

Hi Alan:

  Yes, I had learned that LD_LIBRARY_PATH was always something of a last 
resort. I already added /usr/local/lib to ld.so.conf but still got no 
joy trying to instantiate CsoundVST. Linking it to /usr/lib also didn't 
work, but copying it to /usr/lib did, and that obviates the need for 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I'm not into the codebase very deeply these days, but 
if /usr/lib is hard-coded somewhere perhaps it ought not be ?

Best,

dp
