Installing mp3info from source


I need to use mp3info to get sample rate info for mp3s on my server (CentOS 4.3).

I am trying to compile mp3info from source (mp3info-0.8.4), but I am getting problems because it says that GTK is required. The INSTALL file says to give the command "make mp3info" if you only want to install the console version.

I do
Code:
# make mp3info
# make install
but when I do the "make install", I get tons of errors and warnings dealing with gmp3info (the GTK version). The INSTALL file does not give any more help.

Doing some searching (a lot of searching) turned up this page (old and designed for debian, but gives some useful info): h ttp://englanders.cc/~jason/howtos.php?howto=mp3info (broken up because I can't post clickable urls yet)

Which explains that the "make install" for mp3info will try to install both the console and GTK version. This file recommends

Code:
# make mp3info
# install -s binary /usr/local/bin/
I try this but I get an error "install: cannot stat `binary': No such file or directory"

I feel like I am so close yet so far. I'm somewhat of a newbie (I can get around alright, but I definitely need some help here).

Does anybody know how to get this compiled from source without GTK. I have a feeling I just need to change that install command a bit, but I'm not sure how.
