Hello,

I'm havin troubles getting the following plugins scanned correctly by REAPER on my Arch Linux Desktop:

- Diva
- Presswerk
- ColourCopy
- Hive 2

Whereas Satin works without problems.
I'm using the latest installers with Clap support. Older installers without Clap support work.
Does anybody here have similar issues?

Thanks for your replies,
Simon

I should probably tell you the REAPER version I'm using: v7.37
Switching back to v7.36 doesn't solve the issue

Probably some residual files from the old versions. The new versions don't have vst2 anymore and may not be removed with the new version installers. I had to remove them manually from my .uhe and .vst install folder to get the new versions working as I recall.

I'm not sure this is quite correct, as of yet. I think I should have the latest stable versions and VST2s still work fine (for me, on Ubuntu 24.10)... (Not that I've used them in a long time, mind...)

VST2 is still included in all plugins but Zebralette 3.
But we have to remove the VST2 versions soon. Any further updates or new releases will come without it.

Often when plugins don't scan it's due to a dependency issue. The ldd command in the terminal is useful for checking if all the linked libraries are present. (You can run for example "ldd .u-he/Diva/Diva.64.so" from the terminal, and if anything is listed as missing, that'd be a problem.)

However, if previous versions work, I'm not sure that that's the issue here. I wouldn't expect the library dependencies to have changed that much. But it's still something to rule out.
