I tried the same thing and I had to go out and download lame and install it. It then worked fine as root, but when I tried in my normal user account it still wouldn't work. I then had to go to /usr/sbim/lame and chmod to 755 Charlie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anthony Hologounis" To: Sent: Sunday, January 12, 2003 8:04 AM Subject: ripping and redhat 8 I have RH8 installed and am using grip to tip some music cd's. I am having a problem with the encoding part of the process. The config for Rip shows that I am using cdparanoia. That part seems to work...there is a wav file created in the expected place. The config for the Encode shows grip using lame THis is where the problem lies... After grip 'rip's' the tune , that is, creates the wav file. I t then fails on the encode with an errr message: "No write access to write encoded file" Can some ne help me get past this ?
