[goes and executes the tcprobe command] I get the error root # tcprobe -i /dev/dvd tcprobe: error while loading shared libraries: libMagick-5.5.4-Q16.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [Looks for file libMagick*] There are bunch of those in /usr/lib libMagick-5.5.5*, and libMagick++-5.5.5* [queries for this lib file] They belong to package media-gfx/imagemagick [queries for /usr/bin/tcprobe] tcprobe belongs to the media-video/transcode package. [checks transcode's dependency] Its indeed dependent on imagemagick. At this point it would be help ful if I could find the time when I installed transcode and image magic.But changelog provide a rough estimate as 16th and 18th march respectively. Trying re-emerge transcode. (Note tcprobe was looking for libMagick-5.5.4 and I have verson 5.5.5 hence the re-emerge) trying tcprobe again It worked!!! gave bunch of amazing info out og my dvd!! dvdrip now works when run as root (cant mount the device as a user) Thanx a lot for you help Spundun This sort of problems keep occuring. I think the reason is that many times when a library is updated.... the application package depending on it also needs update. Ususally I think people handle that by throwing a newer version with the same source for the application, which will make the emerge -u --deep world, rebuild the package. I feel its not very clean. Another very complicated solution is to come up with the way of specifying reverse dependencies and api breakage in which case portage will go to the dependent package and rebuild that Spundun > I got a message "libminimagick.so.5 not found" by using tcprobe -i /dev/dvd. > > Regards Michael > > -- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
