"lame is not in your path"

[stack]

With Debian 2.2/Helix Gnome, I installed "abcde" and when I tried to run it, I got the above error.

Can someone tell me what this means and what I need to do to get abcde working?

Lame is the bar-none best MP3 encoder there is. You can get the latest version at http://www.sulaco.org/mp3 .

LAME is an MP3 maker since (Lame Aint MP3 Encoder). Its simply an apps to make MP3's.

Usually it should be located in /usr/bin but if it aint there do a locate lame and see what comes up. If its not there then you will need to install it.

It can be installed by tar.gz only I think.

Thanks...I guess that's one dependency that apt-get couldn't get...

OK, I've tried changing the encodr (gogo, etc)...and get the same results...

How do I put these encoders "in my path."??

Simply put, one of the encoders has to be installed in one of your PATH folders, usually /bin, /usr/bin, and /usr/local/bin. If none of them are installed, you'll have to go out and download and install one.

SubPar,

Thanks...I knew it was installed, but I guess I just need to move it....

Thanks again.
