Installing eyeD3 0.6.17 to CENTOS 5.5 x86_64 virtuozzo
 

Hi everyone, I try id3tool top re-tag my mp3 on my Cpanel based Centos virtuozzo 64bit VPS but it can't write id3tag if mp3 has got one also no id3tagv2 support. I searched on google and finally found eyeD3 0.6.17. I want to install it but my current python version is 2.4, so I have to update my current python version. I am not quite sure how to do this, and do not want to destroy my system tree, public_htmls, mailman etc. So first thing first please help me to update my python?

Cheers

The default python in CentOS cannot be changed.

You can install an extra python : Python-2.6 :
./configure --prefix=/opt/python26/

And : eyeD3-0.6.17 , edit 'configure' line 1682 from : PYTHON = " "
to : PYTHON = "/opt/python26/bin/python"

.. and do :
./configure && make && su -c && /opt/python26/bin/python setup.py install

I guess, you can then run "eyeD3" with a script, that use "python26".

..

to be honest I don't know how to do this, lack of linux knowledge, begin learning. =) If you tell me how then I can Try. kndufl

Easier : Set up a temporary 'rpmforge.repo'
http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-relea....rf.x86_64.rpm

And install the eyeD3 version for CentOS5:
# yum install python-eyed3
Provides python-eyed3-0.6.14-1.el5.rf.noarch.rpm

(( http://pkgs.org/centos-5-rhel-5/rpmf...oarch.rpm.html ))

hey sorry for the late response I did yum intall python-eyed3 here is the response on terminal

Package python-eyed3-0.6.14-1.el5.rf.noarch already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

but when I hit command man eyed3 no response I am not sure if eyed3 installed on my server how can I check,it's working?

thanks

The command : rpm -ql python-eyed3 : Will show a file list.

Command 2 : 'which eyeD3'. ( Or 'which eyed3' ).

Command 3 : find /usr/lib/python2.4/ -iname *eye*

The command 'man eyeD3' or 'man eyed3' will not show anything :
No man entries for eyeD3.
..

I installed and working great!

Thanks mate!
