I have some problems with the Vorbis 1.0 RPM packages available from www.vorbis.com. When I try to install the packages into my Mandrake 8.1 system, for example, with a command
"rpminst libogg_rpmfile libvorbis_rpmfile vorbis-tools_rpmfile"
the problems begin. This is a quick copy&paste from the linux console:

arttu@localhost ~/packs/a-v $ rpminst libogg-1.0-1.i386.rpm libvorbis-1.0-1.i386.rpm vorbis-tools-1.0-1.i386.rpm

I'm not really a Linux expert, so can anyone help? For a newbie like me, it just seems like the RPM packages are somehow corrupted...

Prob not what u want to here but if u can comiple from the source then it will be much better for u. U can set the optimisations for your processor and the binaries will be compiled and linken with the libs on your system.

Also it gives a nice feeling of satisfaction.



Download the source files, unpack them and check out the readme or Install files.

Generally u want to, in the unpacked archives directory go as follows:

./configure

make
(then as root, u can tye 'su' to have root privalages)
make install

this should install the built binaries. Just make sure they are installed in the correct area, usually /usr or /usr/bin.

Hope this helps

Thanks for information, kritip!
The CVS sources compiled quite nicely. Still 'ogg123' doesn't compile correctly (maybe some ?libraries? are missing), but i listen my oggs with XMMS, so it's not a problem... Everything else works fine.
BTW, Vorbis 1.0 really rocks :-)

Use the RPMs from Mandrake's Cooker, they'll work better than the ones from vorbis.com. (Use RPMs from Rawhide for RedHat..)

No worries.

Just out of interest though, what error message did the ogg123 compile give? Doesn't matter if u don't know, as u said u don't use it anyway.

Also, do u know where the VorbisGain Source can be found? as i have been running The windows binary through WINE.


Cheers,

Kristian

I know you don't want the rest of it, but if you download the daily oggenc bundle from one of the mirrors, below, you'll find a zip of the latest VorbisGain sources included.

Cheers for that John33!

Kristian

Apperently not - the sources are to 0.30, and 0.32 is the latest. I thought I'd forwarded the update to you - if it didn't arrive, everything is downloadable from http://sjeng.org/ftp/vorbis

Thanks Garf. I normally check you page from time to time. Obviously missed that one!
