Sorry guys - maybe I didn't explain myself very well.  The point I was
makiing is that this seems to have stopped happening (i.e. when I rebuild
Ardour, it no longer copies anything to /usr/local/lib/ardour2/).  I was
just trying to find out if this is a deliberate change (i.e. known about) or
is there something going wrong with my particular builds...?

Cheers,


John
