Adrian Ulrich first off- thanks for writing cool cli interface for the ipod. looks like exactly what I need.
only problem is that ubuntu seems to have an older version in their repositories and I just bought a new ipod nano. I've screwed up systems in the past by installing things in with the base OS- so I try to tuck all my compiled and personal add on packages in a /usr1 tree. Tried that with the gnupod and I get the following complaint from make -> use 'make install' to install GNUpod -> use 'info GNUpod' to read the documentation after you installed GNUpod -> use 'make uninstall' to remove GNUpod from /usr1/apps/gnupod/gnupod- 0.99.6.d /bin/bash ./mkinstalldirs /usr1/apps/gnupod/gnupod-0.99.6.d/bin /bin/bash ./mkinstalldirs /usr1/apps/gnupod/gnupod-0.99.6.d/share/man/man1 /usr/bin/perl tools/gnupod_install.pl INSTALL "/usr/bin/perl" "/usr1/apps/gnupod/gnupod-0.99.6.d/bin" "/usr1/apps/gnupod/gnupod-0.99.6.d/share/info" "/usr1/apps/gnupod/gnupod-0.99.6.d/share/man" "" _recmkdir(//etc/perl/GNUpod): Failed to create //etc/perl/GNUpod/: Permission denied Installing GNUpod 0.99.6 using gnupod_install 0.25 > src/gnupod_addsong.pl --> //usr1/apps/gnupod/gnupod-0.99.6.d /bin/gnupod_addsong.pl > src/gnupod_check.pl --> //usr1/apps/gnupod/gnupod-0.99.6.d /bin/gnupod_check.pl > src/gnupod_convert_APE.pl --> //usr1/apps/gnupod/gnupod-0.99.6.d /bin/gnupod_convert_APE.pl > src/gnupod_convert_FLAC.pl --> //usr1/apps/gnupod/gnupod-0.99.6.d /bin/gnupod_convert_FLAC.pl > src/gnupod_convert_MIDI.pl --> //usr1/apps/gnupod/gnupod-0.99.6.d /bin/gnupod_convert_MIDI.pl > src/gnupod_convert_OGG.pl --> //usr1/apps/gnupod/gnupod-0.99.6.d /bin/gnupod_convert_OGG.pl > src/gnupod_convert_RIFF.pl --> //usr1/apps/gnupod/gnupod-0.99.6.d /bin/gnupod_convert_RIFF.pl > src/gnupod_INIT.pl --> //usr1/apps/gnupod/gnupod-0.99.6.d /bin/gnupod_INIT.pl > src/gnupod_otgsync.pl --> //usr1/apps/gnupod/gnupod-0.99.6.d /bin/gnupod_otgsync.pl > src/gnupod_search.pl --> //usr1/apps/gnupod/gnupod-0.99.6.d /bin/gnupod_search.pl > src/mktunes.pl --> //usr1/apps/gnupod/gnupod-0.99.6.d/bin/mktunes.pl > src/tunes2pod.pl --> //usr1/apps/gnupod/gnupod-0.99.6.d/bin/tunes2pod.pl make: *** [install] Error 13 because it's my `system` user account instead of root- it's complaining. It's late enough now that I'll probably look at it in detail on another day. any tips on why it needs to create /etc/perl/GNUpod in the /etc/perl directory instead of the --prefix= path and any quick tips on working around this are appreciated Thanks -jmg
