When i try to install Transcode i get the error --enable-lame. cannot compile and run a test program lame.h can be found in the following packages.

I have installed lame but still i get this error message.

I would be thank full for any help someone can offer

Thanks
Ben

When configure asks for something e.g. lame, it means "something-devel"
in this case lame-devel or liblame-devel (liblame-dev if debian-based like ubuntu)
This is general, not for Transcode only.

hey thanks for that i installed the lame devel and it then allowed me to run ./configure with no error messages. Unfortunatly when i tried to run make i get

../libtool: line 1281: g++: command not found

then at the bottom it says make: *** [all] Error 2

thanks again
Ben

g++ is a package you can install, name: 'g++' or 'gcc-c++' depending on the distro you are using, why not edit your profile to show distroname ??

Ok i have added my distro to my profile its Mandriva 2008 i got it from a magazine last month. So far i am liking it anyway to the point.

I am trying to rip a dvd using K3b and it says please make sure transcode is installed. i downloaded transcode and run ./configure which works, not all the the packages are installed but i read that this does not matter.

Then when i run make i get this error

../libtool : line 1281: g++: command not found
make[3]: *** [af6_decore.lo] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/john/Desktop/transcode-1.0.5/import'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/john/Desktop/transcode-1.0.5/import'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/john/Desktop/transcode-1.0.5/import'
make: *** [all Error 2]

I have checked and gcc-4.2.2-3 is already installed

Thanks for the help so far.

Did you install package 'gcc-c++' ?? else no g++
You can install with 'urpmi gcc-c++'
(It is only on the DVD if it is the "Powerpack" version)
If you installed and it is not in /usr/bin/ do this:
'cd /usr/bin/' and 'ln-s c++ g++' (if you found c++)

Good luck !

Hey thanks alot for that. Solved the problem
