Hi Dinky,

Thanks for your ever-helpful advice.

Once I got the compilation tool-chain working on my virgin Fedora 15
virtual machine this compiled and ran perfectly. A couple of tests
showed that get_iplayer was using it and creating properly tagged
podcasts.

I have now installed it on my production F15 server and all is well. I
am a happy bunny - thank you!

It seems a shame that such useful (crucial?) functionality is provided
only by a (relatively) obscure tool that is not widely available in the
repos of the mainstream Linux distributions. I would not have found the
forked version but for your help - I was struggling to build the Mac
version which, as you say, is long dormant (last updated in 2006), but
comes top of the google searches. I now see that the "wez" version is
next in the list, but I'm not sure I would have trusted that unless you
had told me about it.

I know this is not a get_iplayer issue, but is there anything that can
be done?

Anyway - thanks again for all your help. Much appreciated...

Mark
