Failed to open module mbeq_1197.so

[SSchott]

Was getting the following in OpenSuse 15.5 when calling pulseaudio-equalizer enable:

Failed to open module mbeq_1197.so: mbeq_1197.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Failed to load LADSPA plugin: file not found
Failed to load module "module-ladspa-sink" 

After scratching my head for more than an hour I realized that the available library under /usr/lib64/ladspa/ was not being found, so this did the trick:

ln -s /usr/lib64/ladspa/mbeq_1197.so /usr/lib64/
ln -s /usr/lib64/ladspa/mbeq_1197.so /usr/lib/

And now it works as expected. Is this an OpenSuse problem, or from your side?
