I don't see how the kernel would have an influence, but at least that
tells me that this is on Fedora Core 1 (I'll boot my laptop on the FC1
disk to try it). On RedHat 9 I do what you do and ardour is happy. I
just tried with Cannyon Delay and the Bode Frequency Shifter and they
are happy being edited. 

Have you upgraded all your other packages to the latest version? There
may be a hidden problem with a library  having a bug (or misfeature),
and the same so version (so that ardour does not complain). I build all
binaries with the latest redhat/fedora upgrades installed (at the time
of the build). Just guessing here. Another thing that occurs to me, have
you installed libraries manually? (ie: configure; make; make install).

Could you send me off list the list of packages you have installed in
the machine?
"rpm -q -a >rpmlist" will do. 
And also the output of "ldd /usr/bin/ardour"...

If I were you I'd reconsider, if possible, to put it on the network, you
pretty much need that to use Planet CCRMA and stay up to date.
