daapd install problem, libid3tag
 

Hey, thanks for reading. Basically, I'm trying to set up a linux itunes server, should be fairly simple, correct? Well, I'm stuck, I've downloaded all required libraries, (gdbm, zlib, libid3tag, and mt-daapd), put them all in my /itunes directory, untarred all of them, and i've configured and installed the first three.

However, mt-daapd requires the other three libraries to function, and when i try to configure it (./configure), it spits out...

checking id3tag.h usability...no
checking id3tag.h presence...now
checking for id3tag.h...no
configure: error: id3tag.h not found... try --with-id3tag=dir

...

so I retried with ./configure --with-id3tag=/itunes/libid3tag-0.15.1b, I get the same error. I also have $BASE defined as /itunes, so I attempted the configure as ./configure --with-id3tag=$BASE/libid3tag-0.15.1b, but I still got the same error.

Does anyone have any idea exactly what is causing this? It seems pretty straightforward, but for some reason, I can't figure it out....

Thanks.

try

#locate id3tag.h

that should return u the exact directory where id3tag.h is..

install libid3tag0-dev package.
I had the same problem while installing.

After installing the devel package, it installed to perfection.
