Handbrake problems

I am very new to Linux…I think I am up to about 24 hours of use now. So, that being said, I know just enough to be dangerous considering I have been using Windows since the 80s.

I was wanting to rip a couple of DVDs in order that I might store them on my HDD, but I can’t seem to figure out what I have done wrong. I followed the instructions on downloading the source code and compliling the program, but when I ran it I got the following:

checking for GHB… configure: error: Package requirements (gtk±2.0 >= 2.10 gthread-2.0 gstreamer-0.10 gstreamer-interfaces-0.10 gstreamer-video-0.10 gstreamer-pbutils-0.10 gio-2.0 hal hal-storage webkit-1.0 libnotify) were not met:
:

time end: Sun Jul 26 22:08:29 2009
duration: 24 minutes, 13 seconds (1453.67s)
result: FAILURE (code 2)

I don’t really understand what this is telling me, nor what I should do from this point in order to make this program work.

I’m running SUSE 11.1 on an older pentium 4 with 1GB memory.

These messages tell you what development libraries you need in order to compile it. If it tells you the name then search for that package with YaSY/zypper/other crap with -devel attached in its name :slight_smile:

BUT first hava a look if your application isn’t in the repo first :slight_smile:

Most popular applications are already in the repo.

For packages search here:

http://software.opensuse.org/search

P.S. And have a read here

http://en.opensuse.org/Compiling_software

whoa…despite what you may have heard it is NOT required to compile
all the software we wanna run…nope!

use YaST to install k3b (a full feature ripper AND CD/DVD burner)

to learn about YaST and other ways to ‘manage software’ see
http://en.opensuse.org/Concepts as a new guy here you will find the
enter section useful (so bookmark it), but for now you really need to
read all of section 4…

oh, and before you install k3b it is probably best to follow the bread
crumbs of http://opensuse-community.org/Restricted_Formats to install
your codecs required for mp3 and others…

this ain’t your grandpappy’s operating system!
