What version of rosegarden are you using?
rpm -qa |grep rosegarden

We have the following patch in the Fedora 12 package since February
2010 (i.e. since rosegarden10 was released).

This fixes the dssi and ladspa plugin paths.

For rosegarden-1.5.1 to 1.7.3 we used this patch (between May 2007-
February 2010)

I am not sure why the plugins don't work for you, but symlinking is
not a good solution. Links to 64bit binaries should not be in
directories designated for 32 bit binaries. Instead, you can set
LADSPA_PATH and DSSI_PATH environment variables. However this should
not be necessary since the above patches are supposed to find the
correct plugin directories.

As for the LV2, I am not sure what you are talking about. Rosegarden
never supported lv2 directly. You can use some other jack/lv2 host to
use them in rosegarden. See the thread called "lv2" in
