like the only way is to build it from source. I am not afraid of building from source, but a quick look at the download indicates that it is the Mac build code - not the usual "./configure&& make&& su -c make install" incantation.
The Sourceforge distribution of AtomicParsley is long-dormant, but someone else has picked up the torch, and created the necessaries for autoconf-based build. To roll your own, start here:

Dinky - guess the Debian build works for your Ubuntu setup?
It has been brought downstream into Ubuntu repos, but I also built my own from the above source. Either works OK, but the newer version from bitbucket supports a few additional tags.
"ERROR: get_iplayer is not writeable - aborting update (maybe a package manager was used to install get_iplayer?)" message (even as root). I got round this simply by installing the github HEAD version and then running get_iplayer --update as root to create the plugins - and then copying them to my non-root user ./get_iplayer/ directory (and changing the ownership). Is there a better way?
As Jonathan explained, there may be a "packagemanager" option set (e.g., in /etc/get_iplayer/options) to signal get_iplayer that --update should be blocked, so admin privileges won't make a difference. However, the Fedora 15 RPM for version 2.79 doesn't appear to do that. It installs the get_iplayer script as a read-only file, which has the same effect and is the origin of the message you saw. I suppose you could get around it by adding write permissions to the file, and you'd have to do the same thing to update your man page manually. Probably not worth the bother. If you want to manage your own installation, ideally you would first remove the old version via yum, then just drop get_iplayer wherever you want (e.g, $HOME/bin) and --update from there. Plugins will go in $HOME/.get_iplayer automatically. No need for shuffling files around.
