adding stuff to path

[scoopy]

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,

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

sound device or stored on disk.



Note: You NEED to have some sort of sound samples installed for this to

work! You may install the timidity-instruments package if you do not have

any 3rd party samples.

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

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:
