quick question concerning xcdroast

[dwyatte]

I'm having a few preliminary problems with xcdroast, but I think I've pinpointed them. I haven't gotten past configuring the program with root yet because I can't start it. The program won't start because cdrecord and xcdrwrap are in different directories. cdrecord is in /usr/bin and xcdrwrap is in /lib/xcdroast-0.98/bin. When I start it, it will complain about either of these programs not being present in the lib directory. Apparently I can only have one lib directory, so how would I go about getting this to work? I was thinking maybe symbolically linking something but I'm kinda new to that. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

Creating symlinks would be my choice also.

ln -s /usr/bin/cdrecord /path/where/xcdroast/wants/cdrecord

ln -s /lib/xcdroast-0.98/bin/xcdrwrap /path/where/xcdroast/wants/xcdrwrap

well I did that but it still complains about permissions, even though I'm root. Here's the errors I get:

---------------------------

root@darkstar:/lib/xcdroast-0.98/bin# xcdroast -l /lib/xcdroast-0.98

** WARNING **: Failed to access cdrecord. Please check the permissions and ownership of /lib/xcdroast-0.98/bin/cdrecord

so yeah, I have no idea why it would do that since I'm logged in as root. any suggestions? thanks
