[linux-audio-user] ladspa installation for a beginner

I'm pretty new to Linux generally, having dabbled with it for six months or so. I'm using RedHat 8.0 at the moment, on two machines. I've been learning to use tarballs today, and have sucessfully installed ladspa_sdk, and the xmms-ladspa plugin. I've just compiled two very interesting looking ladspa plugins (preamp & unmatched) but am not sure where I should put them to allow my ladspa hosts to find them. At some point soon (probably after my finals) I'm intending to spend some time learning how to use CVS & eventually install Ardour... I hope I'm not on completely the wrong track... thanks Michael Nelson
