It is known to work, and will not mess up your system. Is there any particular feature of the latest SoundConverter that you absolutely must have? If not, then simply use the version in the repositories, which people have gone to time and effort to make available to you. It won't make a menu entry, you will have to do it yourself. The last command will ask for your password and install the program under /usr/local.
Let's start the installation: uncompress the tar.gz source fileĮnter the soundconverter-1.4.1 directory compile and install The installation will install all the required packages, which will remain after you uninstall. To be sure, install and then uninstall the soundconverter package in the repos. Luckily, soundconverter is in python, an interpreted language, so you don't need libraries and compilers, just python which is installed by default (if I remember correctly). Generally when you install from source, you need to have the libraries already installed, along with the compiler. It seems that Linux is more or less designed for command line use, so is there a way of using dpkg and having it handle dependencies for you? I've tried to install stuff myself and had problems with dependencies (using the command line dpkg, I think), so I used a front end tool instead (the Synaptic one) which worked. These instructions are repeated in a few places on the net:īut that's probably going to get the old version again, isn't it? If I install from the source, is it going to get those other libraries etc? Is there some standard way of installing files when the source is available? Normally I'd experiment, but I don't want to harm my system. I've unpacked it and tried to run the install-sh file but it's not having it.
#INSTALL SOUNDCONVERTER UBUNTU HOW TO#
It looks like it's only availble in a `here's the source code - compile it yourself` file, but I don't know how to do this. I like the look of the new version, so I've downloaded it from but clearly it's obviously to everyone but me how to install it. I tried installing Sound Convertor using the add/remove tool, but it's installed an old version.
