#musicbrainz

Well, when I'm less tired I'll add these releases and ask for thoughts on them.

Hey, when I try to run the code I've written using libmusicbrainz, I get an error saying

error while loading shared libraries: libmusicbrainz5.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

what should I do?

_dmn: sounds like your libmusicbrainz isn't installed correctly... where did you get it from? a distribution package, manually installed?

_dmn: what linux distribution are you using?

kepstin-work: I installed it manually

kepstin-work: I'm using archlinux

huh, I thought there was an archlinux package for it.

there's one for libmusicbrainz3, 4 and 5 :)

_dmn: what does this command output: `pkg-config --variable=libdir libmusicbrainz5` ?

Package libmusicbrainz5 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libmusicbrainz5.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable. No package 'libmusicbrainz5' found.

13:42 < CallerNo6:#musicbrainz> I would argue that somebody like Alan Lomax had a huge role in the material he recorded

+1

_dmn: sounds like your package isn't installed correctly :)

kepstin-work: ^^

you must have not installed it to a prefix in your system that's in the library search paths

how about this case : http://www.folkways.si.edu/lead-belly/last-sess... where the recorder is audible, prompting leadbelly etc

_dmn: just install it from a distribution package, should save you a bit of pain.

kepstin-work: Oh..k. Thanks.

_dmn: the package is called "libmusicbrainz5", and it's in the "Extra" repository. https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64...

kepstin-work: The source code doesn't contain pkgbuild :-/

_dmn: you don't need a pkgbuild to install a package that's in the official repositories, a simple "pacman -S libmusicbrainz5" will suffice

_dmn: open a terminal as root, and run the command "pacman -S libmusicbrainz5"

then tada! it installs

like any other system package ;?

kepstin-work: I wanted to build it manually.

_dmn: why?

kepstin-work: Working on a project.

but yeah, the libmusicbrainz build system is kinda confusing. i'm not a cmake fan.

by default it installs to /usr/local tho - which should be fine

did you remember to run 'make install' as root after you built it?

kepstin-work: Yup.

so, you should have the file /usr/local/lib/libmusicbrainz5.so.0 - do you?

kepstin-work: Yes, I do.

hmm. ok, so arch must be doing something strange with the library paths then; /usr/local/lib should normally be in the search path

their pkg-config isn't checking /usr/local either

and installing it manually to /usr isn't a good idea, since that might collide with the distribution package

reosarevok: yo

_dmn: you can get the PKGBUILD from the origial package with "abs extra/libmusicbrainz5"

oh and I remember, there is something fishy with th pkg-config in arch, but only for lmb3 and lmb, lmb5 was fine imho

I wonder why arch didn't find the library under /usr/local with the manually installed package

do they have a patched pkg-config that doesn't check under /usr/local for pkg-config files?

kepstin-work: I changed the patch to /usr and tried; works fine :)

it should be installed to /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libmusicbrainz5.pc, which is in the default pkg-config search path

kepstin-work: no patches: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/package...

patch*

path*

_dmn: but really. You can create your own package if you think you need to change things (or use -git),but you should start with a copy of the official package then

_dmn: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/package... the PKGBUILD and a patch that is applied

by the way, that patch is hopefully reported "upstream" and in "master" now

JonnyJD: Now that I've installed it in /usr, will it be a problem in the future?

with exherbo we've seen so many packages not work with out-of-source builds that we added a special mode to our multilib builds that copies the entire source directory rather than doing out-of-source builds

_dmn: strange things might happen if you later install the distribution package.

patch by luks an ahawkins, I would be very suprised if that isn't applied upstream

(It's just easier build debian package than build out of dpkg and later remember what you did past... also easier remove and so)

_dmn: what kepstin-work says. It WILL lead to problems later on. Although these are easy to fix. Just remove your local copy again. Another problem is that you don't have a package and therefore no "provides"

so now if you install a package that wants libmusicbrainz5, it'll pull it in from pacman and overwrite yours

i really don't know why the /usr/local one didn't work; the arch folks must have screwed that up somehow :(

kepstin-work: I don't think I'll use pacman to install it again.

well, it won't install. The installation will complain about conflicts in /usr and exit.

_dmn: but it might get pulled in as a dependency of something else

kepstin-work: Oh yeah. Crap..

(I use /opt or some other weird dir to install if I build something out of package manager.... LD_* variables is easy to use)

And is there any other proper documentation for libmusicbrainz C API apart from the one given on the main website?

or examples

not really :/

kepstin-work: no example programs also?

_dmn: there are examples: https://github.com/metabrainz/libmusicbrainz/tr...

"Whoops. Our bad.

?

Looks like the MusicBrainz side of CAA is broken now.

hm?

JonnyJD: kepstin-work: Thanks guys, for your help.

nikki: Does it work for you?

no

I just pointed it out to ocharles

it's probably because we're having a lot of server issues at the moment and we've been pointing various things to different servers and forgetting to update everything

Is there a Nagios check for the CAA images?

intgr: should work now

Still dog-slow, but indeed it works.

intgr: You have bot. Can you get it to do some task.... example get discogs cover art for every linked release for defined (finnish) artist... Or Have I do it my self.....

ijabz: I was out, sowwy

Jozo: Probably half a day of coding, but Discogs doesn't have cover art types and has low-resolution artwork so I haven't bothered.

ijabz: nikki and I were wondering if changing all the "vocal" attributes to be "whatever vocals" would cause any problems for Jaikos

(so, instead of the relationship being "performed 'soprano' vocals", it would be "performed 'soprano vocals'"

)

ijabz: basically, do you do anything special with vocal relationships in your taggers?

intgr: discogs has still has ordered list cover art?

Jozo: Oh, someone has already written "discogs_cover_art.py"

Ordered list cover art?

intgr: well, the first picture in discigs is 99% of times Front I guess is what he means

discogs even

intgr: I don't want set bot for just pretty easy task. I like if some one else command bot, I can review edits.

intgr: (I'm not read discosgs apis, but front is usually first in web pages)

Jozo: I can give it a try, what artist?

500

What 500?

Error?

intgr: "Leevi and the Leavings" my first. I added and reviewed discogs links in this year.

(and there is not so many to do)

What's your MB username?

kaik?

intgr: yep

Wow you can speak No linguistic content? :)

=)

intgr: well, he's a Finn

They're good at silence, aren't they :p

hanr et fdhs ag re uyieruth skfdh, asdfdfg

kepstin-work: Nope, that's written in Gibberish.

i didn't say i was speaking in no linguistic content :)

in fact, i kinda didn't say anything at all with meaning.

Hmm

hmm, android 2.3 behaves weirdly when the top status bar panel crashes

I guess No linguistic content != No semantic content

took down the network panel as well :/

I'm sick of these "502"s :( Do you have status page for servers?

xplt: there's some detailed monitoring pages, but no user-friendly 'status' :/

I see :-/

basically, there are server issues atm, the replacement db server is overloaded, and it'll stay that way until it can be replaced :/

there may be plans to mitigate some of the load by moving part of the webservice to a read-only db mirror

Any ETA?

none that I know of; probably be at least a day

What happened to the database server?

intgr: i dunno, i missed that part

they moved the db to baron, the failover server.

i think pingu's completely out, due to possible ram/motherboard failure

pingu's out so we can replace the motherboard and ram. tests on them apparently weren't showing any problems but we're replacing them anyway because pingu's been acting up

nikki, reosarevok back now

no, thanks for asking but I don't currently make use of vocal relationships

not entirely sure why totoro is out, other than that totoro's also been acting up

WTF, this "discogs_cover_art.py" thing is a dependency hell

ijabz: ah, good to know :)

sounds like the issue right now is that the db server is somewhat overloaded (cpu usage?)

for baron, yes. it's not as powerful as totoro apparently

which of course makes things run slower, which causes 502s :(

and whats wrong with totoro ?

intgr: If that was too much to ask, don't bother. I can do myself someday.... (Just hint that every bot script is useful when it can take arguments)

all I know about that is that it had maxed out network transfer three times in the last couple of days

Jozo: Already working on making the dependencies optional ﺕ
