i got this problem...

when i emerge dvdrip o.46 it seems it's already on my hd... (because it doesnt download the package) and it installs it correctly.... But when i type dvdrip it gives me this error:

justone /simone # dvdrip
bash: dvdrip: command not found

I'm going crazy with this problem...
Anyone could help me?

Thanx!

maybe you have to be root to have access to dvdrip, or have not the path to it. to see if it is installed make a

i've tried what you said... But no luck here...

the locare command shows many files... but i think none of them are executable...

Maybe the one in /usr/local/scripts
that is called dvdrip...
i've tried it and it give me this message:

justone /simone # /usr/local/scripts/dvdrip
Missing the following programs.
Please install them and configure your PATH:

dr_splitpipe, dr_progress
at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Video/DVDRip.pm line 0
Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/scripts/dvdrip line 29.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/scripts/dvdrip line 29.

it seems it hasn't been installed... So why my emerge dvdrip didn't worlked correctly?

I can't help, just a few hints:
You don't have to be root to start dvdrip.
dvdrip is installed in /usr/bin and it is a perl-script (with the name "dvdrip")
I do also not have a /usr/local/scripts directory.

It seems that "emerge dvdrip" didn't work properly.

No luck...

I still have the same problem...

emerge dvdrip seems didn't work well...

no dvdrip files in /usr/bin

Anyone could help me?

Thanx...

I believe the command is actually
# dvd:rip
at least that is what I have to use on my system.

cheers,

i have never used this program but running '#emerge -s dvdrip' i saw a couple of things...it says that 'dvd::rip is a graphical frontend for transcode'

the interesting thing after reading this thread was the :: adn that transcode is a pkg that must be installed too...so excuse me if this is just beyond stupid but make sure transcode 6.0 is installed and maybe try #dvd::rip

i know...
dvdrip is a perl script to use transcode... Transcode is already emerged and i also tried to start dvd::rip...

Same problem... 'dvd::rip' doesn't exist...

I still hope that someone will help me...

Thanx...

Simo.

I was wrong. The command was dvdrip and not dvd:rip. However, I just did and emerge -u dvdrip and now dvdrip errors out on the initialization sequence when I try to run it. I'll try to re-emerge it tonight and let you know how it goes.
