eh. Why not use the debian scripts they've been nice enough to provide? :) Really, I've been using them for a while. Makes things nice and easy. Install the dpkg-dev package if you need it, check the config file debian/rules in the lame source tree, then run dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc Works great except for a few hackish things I've had to do with a few odd configure options, but I may be able to help with that if you get to it. Also, I'd reccommend sticking with the latest versions. They've been adding and tweaking things constantly, and haven't ever managed to break anything that I've noticed. :) a few random comments... > Script started on Mon Sep 10 17:03:35 2001 > juli:/tmp/lame-3.89# ./configure > ... > checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes > checking dependency style of gcc... mkdir: cannot create directory `confdir': > File exists > ./configure: cd: confdir: No such file or directory Odd.
