and can you put it here for me?
Ive tried installing LAME (for audacity) and the fine is missing Itried downloading it and unpacking it but I am at a loss. (so much easyer with Windowz)
I can install things using Synaptik or what ever its called (only just figured that out)
I tried Wine (what a nightmare)
So.. basically...
is there a repository that contains LAME and... what is the address?
cheers...
or my podcasting days are numbered...

Can you not just download LAME, unpack it to a directory, and then link to it in Audacity - nothing needs to be installed, as it's just a library?
I did this for my Audacity - just unpacked it to /usr/local/bin/LAME or something like that.

unpack?

sorry... VERY new to all this
ok.. i have downloaded it....
ive unpacked it... (i think) and theres a file ive got in "my music" called "lame_3.97"
what next?

To compile put the lame file you downloaded in your user folder
Right click it and select extract all followed by ok
Go into the lame folder you just made
Click tools then open console window
Type sudo apt-get install build-essential
then type su
after you enter your password type ./configure
then type make
then type make install
That should be it Audacity should find the file automatically. If it does not work let me know.
This was in another thead...
ive tried it but it didnt work it said i didnt have permisions...
AHHHHHH

It will be once you know how.

Shouldn't need compiling? If you can hold off until I get home and infront of my EEE, I can verify exactly what you need to do... It really is dead easy.

lame library can be installed from the debian-multimedia repositories:
wget http://ftp.tw.debian.org/debian-multimedia/pool/main/d/debian-multimedia-keyring/debian-multimedia-keyring_2007.02.14_all.deb dpkg -i debian-multimedia-keyring_2007.02.14_all.deb
Add to etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main
then update cache and install liblame0
apt-get install liblame0
Finally, in audacity, Edit > Preferences > Find library > /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0.0.0
Offline
Add to etc/apt/sources.list
where is this bit?

Edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list:
sudo kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list
Add this line at the back, then save and exit.
Then run this command to update repositories package information:
sudo apt-get update

ive given up. i save the files as AUD projects and just do it on my PC.
I just cant do it

How did you get Audacity onto your eee? I'm puzzled that you managed that but can't get Lame onto it.

I've been struggling with the same issue today with 'tuxfamily.org. The site seems to be there but the path seems messed up based on the wiki list. I haven't had time to figure out what it is supposed to be.
I noticed one of your repos has a typo. The default is:
deb http://update.eeepc.asus.com/p701/ p701 main
deb http://update.eeepc.asus.com/p701/en p701 main
but yours is:
deb http://update.eeepc.asus.com/p701 p701 main <- missing / after 701
deb http://update.eeepc.asus.com/p701/en p701 main

OK! Here's the complete instructions:
First open a terminal. You can either do it by Ctrl-Alt-T (this will give you the xterm) or open konsole from File Manger > Tools > Open Console Window.
Then add the Debian multimedia respository to apt source list:
sudo kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list
Now you are in the default Text Editor. Add this line to the end of the file, save and exit.
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main
Next enter the following commands one by one (neglect those lines starting with #):
[NB. You can copy the commands from here and paste to the terminal by Shift-Ins]
wget http://ftp.tw.debian.org/debian-multimedia/pool/main/d/debian-multimedia-keyring/debian-multimedia-keyring_2007.02.14_all.deb # this command download the keyring for the Debian multimedia repository sudo dpkg -i debian-multimedia-keyring_2007.02.14_all.deb # install the keyring sudo apt-get update # ask apt to update its repository package information sudo apt-get install liblame0 # ask apt to fetch and install liblame0
Now you can open Audacity > Edit > Preferences > Find library > browse to /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0.0.0
That's it.
If you still have trouble working this out. You can download this lame library package directly to /home/user, then right click on it and choose "Install DEB file". This should equally work.
Don't give up! After the first steep of the learning curve, get the basics, then lots of fun to follow.
