  • How To Enable 3rd/third party packages in RHEL/Redhat/Centos 4/5 Linux via RPMForge


    It's a bit of a pain that many basic third party tools that aren't put of the main Centos/RHEL repositories are not available unless you compile them or install the RPMForge Repo. *Updated 08/29 with new download location changed from apt.sw.be to rpmforge.sw.be Here's a quick, simple/cut&paste way to do it: wget http://rpmforge.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/i386/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm rpm -i rpmforge........

Download dmg2iso here for free (from the author's website) It's just silly and doesn't make sense that Ubuntu doe........
  • LAME MP3 Encoder Segmentation Faults


    This happened on one of my Ubuntu machines where Igot some kind of segfault on line 21 from LAME at random while encoding MP3s (a second try is fine usually). I've read that it's best to compile it from source and that has solved most issues for people. Here is my preferred configure line: ./configure --enable-mp3x --with-fileio=lame --enable-debug --with-vorbis Even with that I got a different error this tim........
