Hi Folks,
I have been trying to get a tarball of transcode to compile on my SUSE 9.2 system. Every pkg I have d/l'd from the sites listed on the Transcode Wiki page:
http://www.transcoding.org/cgi-bin/transcode
are unopenable. Every one, including the beta versions. Have I made one of those embarrassing newby errors? Konqi Filemgr says : "The file does not exist" even tho it lists it.
Is there a location for a transcode I can open and compile?
My guess is you downloaded it as root and are trying to open it as user. Happens to me all the time! Nother thing to look out for in the wonderful world of linux. Check its permissions and make sure it's readable and changeable by anyone. Or if you're paranoid, and doing it from the command line, su before you try to open it. ra ra

p.s. The pkgs are unopenable on my SUSE 8.2 sys also -- --
