Yo Kewpie! Can't get lsdvd to install.
 

Yeah so I unpacked it and did:

./configure

and it spits out:

creating cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for working aclocal-1.4... found

checking whether the C compiler (gcc -g ) works... yes
checking whether the C compiler (gcc -g ) is a cross-compiler... no
checking whether we are using GNU C... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for DVDOpen in -ldvdread... no
configure: error: libdvdread not found!

I do have libdvdread installed:

rpm -qa | grep libdvdread

returns:

libdvdread-0.9.4-fr3

So what switches do I have to add to ./configure to make it find libdvdread.

After installing libdvdread did you update using ldconfig? Also what directory is it located in? Most of the time it might install to /usr/local/lib but needs to be in /usr/lib. If that's the case, I usually just create a link to it's location, etc.

locate libdvdread

returns:

/usr/lib/libdvdread.so.3
/usr/lib/libdvdread.so.3.0.0
/usr/share/doc/libdvdread-0.9.4
/usr/share/doc/libdvdread-0.9.4/AUTHORS
/usr/share/doc/libdvdread-0.9.4/COPYING
/usr/share/doc/libdvdread-0.9.4/NEWS
/usr/share/doc/libdvdread-0.9.4/README
/usr/share/doc/libdvdread-0.9.4/TODO

I installed it via apt. I did not update ldconfig because I assumed that rpm took care of that.

Okay I ran:

/sbin/ldconfig

and I'm still getting the errors. Where is acid_kewpie? I thought he would have jumped right on this one.

Perhaps its looking for an older version of libdvdread?

http://rpm.livna.org/redhat/9/i386/RPMS.stable/

There is an RPM for it. I don't use it or know what it is for but I installed it on a RH 9 machine and it went right in.

Well I got passed issue #1. I had to install libdvdread-devel for ./configure to work. Now its throwing an error:

bash# perl Makefile.PL

Gtk2 is needed, it implements the perl bindings to Gtk+2.
The module is called Gtk2-Perl on CPAN or module gnome-perl in the Gnome CVS.
In the future acidrip will be able to run from a command line, so this will not be mandatory.
This has not been implemented yet though.
We need at least version 0.98

Yet again I do have Gtk2 installed.

I too am having the exact same error. I double checked and Gtk2 is installed, yet not detected during install? Where is the magic button Kewpie? :-) I want to play with acidrip bad...

Oh well guess I'll have to settle for dvdrip.

Having same problem...
 

When I finaly comes to the part when you tryto install acidrip, I get this:
____________________________________________________________

To me the paths looks quite similar... has anyone solved this?

No anwser at the Forums at Sourceforge, and onthing here (so long)

:Pengy:

Are you sure you install both Gtk2 and Glib for Gtk2 so acidrip will detect and install? I always suggest to install the source, not RPM, etc.

http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/

You can download the two latest packages from here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=64773

And see the man pages, documentation here for both:

Gtk2: http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/doc/pod/Gtk2.html

Glib: http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/doc/pod/Glib.html

I've installed the latest acidrip on Slackware 9.1 and will be working on the latest Installation Howto for acidrip with the updated packages required, etc for acid_kewpie.

The totally outdated and old install howto can be found at www.jabentley.com/docs/acidrip-howto.html

"Can't locate Gtk2.pm"
"slocate Gtk.pm"

i'm lost... which bit isn't obvious? ;-)

O.k. On my third attempt at installing all of this I run into the following problem.

I installed the ExtUtils-Depends and ExtUtils-Pkg and libdvdread and lsdvd and gtk2-perl and so forth, and I have confirmed I have both Gtk2 and Gtk as well the other requirements listed in the Install instructions. Yet I still get the error:

bash# perl Makefile.PL

Is there anything I should be doing differently. I spent over 5 hours attempting this and am at my wits end. Where should I look next for the problem? On the safe side I installed every single package on the source dvd that even mensioned Perl or Gtk.

what path is Gtk2.pm on then?
