[linux] MP3 class - lame and curl permissions?

[Martin .]

Hi,

I get this error when I try the MP3 class:

Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html
sh: /usr/lib: Permission denied
RESULT = 32256
Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html
WARNING:
String.unixCmdInferPID - unable to be sure of the lib PID.
Compared: [ 0 ] against [ 0 ] with result [  ]
Difference function returns [  ]
MP3.start completed (PID unknown)

I've set the right path to lame and curl (when I do
File.exists(MP3.lamepath) and File.exists(MP3.curlpath) it returns
'true'), and changed the permissions for the files. Am I missing
something?

cheers,
martin

Hi -

Are you on Linux? I developed it on Mac and it's possible that the
"ps" command behaves differently, not sure.

What's the command being sent from SC?
I tried looking into the source code, but didn't see where this was
happening...

this warning is harmless.
take away the - in -xc in the command of ps, and it will not complain.

it seems not the right command is executed...
sh /usr/lib ??

Yes, I see. Martin, could you tell us what values you are using for
MP3.lamepath and MP3.curlpath?

My libcurl.so and libmp3lame.so are both in /usr/lib/, so that is the
value I set for both. I also tried including the filename in the path
but it would only take the directory.

Aha!

It doesn't want the path to your library files, but to the executables
themselves. Most likely they're "/usr/bin/lame" and "/usr/bin/curl" so
try those values. On a command line, if you run `which lame` and
`which curl` it should tell you exactly the path to use - if the
`which` command gives no output then you don't have the executable
installed.

Ah, it even says in the helpfile that it's the program and not the
library. Thanks and sorry for the fuss!
