Bug Description

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and installed Audacity with "sudo apt-get install audacity". When I starts it from the dash, it shows the splash and wouldn't load further or display the window. Running it from the terminal produces the following output:
jack980517@Love-Alice:~$ audacity

P.S. 拒绝连接 = Refuse to connect, 没有那个文件或目录 = No such file or directory
After that, it didn't output anything to the terminal for about 10 sec, and I Ctrl-C'ed and terminated it.

Ubuntu version: 14.04 LTS
Audacity version: 2.0.5-1ubuntu3

It appears that the error message:

audacity: symbol lookup error: audacity: undefined symbol: Pa_GetStreamHostApiType

was caused by a stale libportaudio file in /usr/local/lib. Fix:

rm -rf /usr/local/lib/libportaudio*
ldconfig
