scoopy Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 I wanted to try out a new app for editing mp3 files (rezound), but after installing, I see it is ready for any type of sound file --- except mp3s. $ rezound using path '/usr/share/rezound' for share data directory 'lame' executable not found in $PATH -- mp3 support will be disabled 'vox' executable not found in $PATH -- vox format support will be disabled So I check and it seems lame is installed (haven't mastered that grep command yet) but I do have this installed: Name: libmp3lame0 Version: 3.93.1-2.1plf So I imagine, I need to add "lame" to my path. Is this just a symlink or do I add something to a file? Is this the file I would link to "libmp3lame.so.0" (found in /usr/lib) ? And, breifly, what is "vox" ? thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 You must only have a lib of lame installed because the lame pkg has an exec in /usr/bin which is in your PATH....surely? echo $PATH [root@localhost bvc]# rpm -qa | grep lame lame-3.93.1-fr2 [root@localhost bvc]# rpm -ql lame /usr/bin/lame /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0 /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0.0.0 [root@localhost bvc]# rpm -qa | grep mp3 mp3info-0.8.4-6mdk mp32ogg-0.11-2mdk libgmp3-4.1.2-1mdk [root@localhost bvc]# urpmf libmp3lame [root@localhost bvc]# There's is a man page also; /usr/share/man/man1/lame.1.gz [root@localhost bvc]# urpmf --summary vox [root@localhost bvc]# urpmf vox nas:/usr/X11R6/man/man1/auvoxware.1x.bz2 timidity-instruments:/usr/share/timidity/instruments/echovox.pat timidity-instruments:/usr/share/timidity/instruments/voxlead.pat [root@localhost bvc]# urpmf --summary timidity-instruments timidity-instruments:Instruments for the timidity midi->wave converter/player [root@localhost bvc]# urpmf --description timidity-instruments TiMidity++:TiMidity is a MIDI to WAVE converter and player that uses Gravis Ultrasound(*)-compatible patch files to generate digital audio data from general MIDI files.

scoopy Posted August 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 Duh (*slaps hand to forhead*), sometimes I feel so stupid. I was missing a package. notlame-3.93.1-2plf.i586.rpm Failed to see this, since it was not under L for lame or M for mp3. Plus mp3 files played nicely in xmms before adding this. So we installed this and now lame is in my path: [scoopy@localhost rpms]$ whereis lame lame: /usr/bin/lame and also note (have to remember this command now): [scoopy@localhost rpms]$ rpm -qa | grep lame libmp3lame0-3.93.1-2.1plf notlame-3.93.1-2plf thanks again bvc :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 You're very welcome! Something I started to help remember good tips/commands was to make a file called 'commands' in my Docs folder, so when I see something good I put it in there for quick reference. I have it split into catagories (sorta). Here a small portion of it. Hey, do the first one it's really cool.....aru posted it somewhere. Most are in memory now and have been, but the point is that they were once there because I couldn'nt remember them. Just an idea :wink: #======Searching=========#grep -ir "kernel panic" /usr/src/linux/Documentation/* #====PROCCESS====# lsdev socklist ps auxf ps -A ps auxO-s ps aux | grep "[X]" procinfo #====MODEM====# ifup /dev/modem | wvdial 7853 chmod +s /usr/bin/wvdial chmod +x /usr/sbin/pppd chmod +s /usr/sbin/pppd netstat -r #====NVIDIA & X====# chmod 0666 /dev/nvidia* chown root /dev/nvidia* xdpyinfo xset s off s noblank dpms 0 0 0 #======GCC======# export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
