Yeah, that is kind of a tricky issue.  I have /usr/lib, /usr/lib32 and 
/usr/lib64 here.  /usr/lib64 is a symlink to /usr/lib, and /usr/lib32 is there 
for all the random legacy crapola that doesn't work in 64-bit for whatever 
reason.

Searching lib64/ would be harmless here, since it's the same as lib/, but that 
probably isn't a safe bet for a good practice to perform across all Linuxdom.

The suggestion about looking at the LADSPA_PATH environment variable is sound 
enough, but I don't have that set myself in an out of the box setup.  That 
suggests leading down a road where we have some "Could not find your LADSPA 
thingummies, please set this environment variable" dialog, and then get 
massive uproar from userland about the horribly confusing dialog upsetting our  
»realities« about something or other, because the word "environment variable" 
needs to be translated to what it truly is (impactulescent dinglefarffle, 
obviously), and yadda yadda blah.

The best thing to do does not seem particularly clear to me.
