The other day I installed Audacity for the first time on my OpenSuse desktop so I could edit an mp3 file. After having installed Audacity I was greeted with the following message:
“This version of audacity was not compiled with mp3 files support”
This is not your common message about lame missing or not installed (that was my first try), as lame is only needed for exports; but it seems that the Audacity package from OpenSuse repos does not support mp3 files.
The fix is rather simple
1- Remove Audacity

1- Remove Audacity
| zypper rm audacity |
2- Make sure you have packman repo installed and refreshed
- Install instructions here - http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_package_repositories#Packman
| sudo zypper refresh -r "Packman Repository" |
3- Re-install Audacity
| sudo zypper in -r "Packman Repository" audacity |
