Streamripper

From DreamHost

Jump to: navigation, search

I had trouble compiling Streamripper on the Dreamhost server, thought I'd post how I did it in case anyone else comes down this path.

The latest version (1.63 as of writing this in October 2008) wouldn't comnpile because of an outdated Glib library on Dreamhost, and I'm lazy and didn't feel like installing that too, but that could probably be installed using the same method below, by setting the prefix during config.

Anyway:

  1. downloading an older version of Streamripper, since the new one errored out saying glib was too old

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/streamripper/streamripper-1.62.3.tar.gz

gunzip stream*

tar -xvvf stream*

cd stream*

  1. Adding this prefix line got rid of some write errors I was getting. The folder lib is in my path. Obviously, I'm not root, I'm user "jaqueshaas".

./configure --prefix=/home/jaqueshaas/lib

make

make install

chmod 755 streamripper

./streamripper
