That didn't work either. Or Should I re-install? Or reboot?

In Synaptic there are as well: libghc-libtagc-dev ("Binding to Taglib C library". 300 MB!) and libghc-libtagc-prof ("Binding to Taglib C library; profiling libraries". 300 MB again!)

I don't think you need to reboot or reinstall...
Does the last link i posted proivdes libtag_c.so in your libs path?
I tried the flacs you posted, and they all works here, with paths and embedded covers too.

On my system (archlinux):
If i open xt7 and check the open files:(gbr3 is the interpreter)

Code: Select all

lsof -n|grep taglib
gbr3      27379       kokonicki  mem       REG        8,4   623212   799651 /usr/lib/libtag.so.1.7.1
gbr3      27379       kokonicki  mem       REG        8,4    13880   799653 /usr/lib/libtag_c.so.0.0.0


so it uses: /usr/lib/libtag_c.so.0.0.0 and /usr/lib/libtag.so.1.7.1
They are pointed by those links:

Code: Select all

kokonicki@netbook /usr/bin $ ls -la /usr/lib/libtag_c.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 25 mar 10.30 /usr/lib/libtag_c.so -> libtag_c.so.0
kokonicki@netbook /usr/bin $ ls -la /usr/lib/libtag_c.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 25 mar 10.30 /usr/lib/libtag_c.so -> libtag_c.so.0
kokonicki@netbook /usr/bin $ ls -la /usr/lib/libtag.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 25 mar 10.30 /usr/lib/libtag.so -> libtag.so.1
kokonicki@netbook /usr/bin $ ls -la /usr/lib/libtag.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 25 mar 10.30 /usr/lib/libtag.so.1 -> libtag.so.1.7.1


So, in the end we need libtag.so.1.7.x and libtag_c.so.0

On ubuntu packages i see:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/i386 ... a/filelist
and
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/i386 ... 0/filelist

if you have the last, but not the first, then i think something is wrong with the libtagc0 ubuntu package, probably a mistake of the packager, because libtag1-vanilla should be a dependancy of libtagc0.

See what happens on my system if i check what are the linked libraries for taglib:

Code: Select all

kokonicki@netbook /usr/bin $[b] ldd /usr/lib/libtag_c.so[/b]
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xb771b000)
      [b]  libtag.so.1 => /usr/lib/libtag.so.1 (0xb767b000)[/b]
        libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0xb7592000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb7575000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb73a0000)
        libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xb7388000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xb735c000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb771c000)


...clearly libtag_c depends on libtag.

To make the story short, try to install libtagc0 AND libtag1-vanilla

I've already both of them installed. And in /usr/lib, in addition to the ones mentioned earlier, now I have libtag-extras-so as well.

When I choose in the contextual menu to search for the embedded covers, it produces this warning: "Xt7 will try to find and update embedded covers. Beware that covers explicitely set without album/artist information will be lost."

Though all my covers are properly embedded as tags, this warning frightens me and prevents me to press "Ok".

[kokoko3k]

xt7 caches covers on disk, and associate a single cover to a bunch of files tagged with the same couple album/artist.
When album/artist tag cannot be retreived you can explicitely set a cover for a particular file by searching on google/amazon.
that message is telling you that cover caches associated to that files will be lost, but xt7 will not touch anyof your flacs, there is no need to worry.

The problem here is to understand why libtagc and libtag1 are not used; by monday i'll make an xt7 binary for you to test that will fails on any error, in the hope that the error message will help me to understand what is happening with your installation, if it is ok for you.

--meantime
could you please post the output of:
# ls -la /usr/lib/libtag*
thanks.

I had to remove Lubuntu 12.04 Beta and have installed Mint and that libtag_c problem has dissappeared. It's in the /usr/lib now. Yet the problem persists. Here's the output you want:

Code: Select all

burak@burak-mint ~ $ ls -la /usr/lib/libtag*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     17 2011-04-30 23:04 /usr/lib/libtag_c.so.0 -> libtag_c.so.0.0.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  14664 2011-04-30 23:04 /usr/lib/libtag_c.so.0.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     22 2010-11-15 11:50 /usr/lib/libtag-extras.so.1 -> libtag-extras.so.1.0.0

By the way, library building time has dropped to 40 minutes. I can't test anything you want. No prob.

[kokoko3k]

I understood that you dropped lubuntu for mint, but it is not clear to me what's happening now.
Can you read flac tags now? or does xt7 complains about taglib not installed?
what about the covers?

[burak]

First, very sorry for that:

I can't test anything you want. No prob.

What I wanted to write is that I CAN test anything you want. No prob.

As for the tags and covers, I can see neither covers nor tags except for the track title.

[kokoko3k]

Ok, i think i found the issue,
You don't have /usr/lib/libtag_c.so, i have it and it is just a link to /usr/lib/libtag_c.so.0 (which you have).
So could you please try to create the link?
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libtag_c.so.0 /usr/lib/libtag_c.so
