Which version of liblrdf did you have installed at that time? (if you
remember).

That is very strange, you are just using Planet CCRMA packages? This was
the old version:

# rpm -q -l -p liblrdf-0.3.4-1.rh90.ccrma.i386.rpm |grep so
/usr/lib/liblrdf.so.0
/usr/lib/liblrdf.so.0.1.5

# rpm -q -l -p liblrdf-devel-0.3.4-1.rh90.ccrma.i386.rpm |grep so
/usr/lib/liblrdf.so

and this is the current version:

# rpm -q -l liblrdf|grep so
/usr/lib/liblrdf.so.2
/usr/lib/liblrdf.so.2.0.0

# rpm -q -l liblrdf-devel|grep so
/usr/lib/liblrdf.so

So, the .so.* files should have been there. If you are compiling you
should install the liblrdf-devel stuff, maybe you were missing that?
(but then your ardour build should have failed).

Maybe you have more than one liblrdf installed? Check in /usr/local just
to make sure that you don't have anything extra there. The mismatch
could happen if the header files ardour is seeing are for liblrdf <
0.3.5, then it would complain later when it cannot find the shared
libraries (because they have a different so version in >= 0.3.5).

Thanks for the report...
