Drumkv1 lv2 plugin gui crashes ardour

Hello All,

I recently decided to try the kxstudio distro of Ubuntu 14.04 and am in general quite pleased with the way everything works. I've got two problems that are related to each other:

First problem: I would love to be able to use drumkv1 as a plugin in ardour, but it crashes ardour every time I attempt to load the gui. I have looked at what appears here:

http://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=11993

I don't think that the qt discussion is relevent to me, but I did compile drumkv1 myself from source anyway. This brings me to problem 2: Ardour did not find the plugin, although I added /usr/local/lib/lv2 to LV2_PATH. I was eager to see if my compiled version worked, so I copied the new plugin into /usr/lib/lv2 and it still crashes Ardour. As an aside, I am able to load this plugin successfully in Qtractor.

I'm a bit of a newb also, meaning I have scant *actual* understanding of the underlying mechanics of this operating system. Any ideas to help me load Drumkv1 in Ardour, or help me understand why Ardour does not find plugins in /usr/local/lib/lv2 would be awesome!
