According to # locate libdvdread /usr/lib/libdvdread.so.3 /usr/lib/libdvdread.so.3.1.0 /usr/share/doc/libdvdread-0.9.5 /usr/share/doc/libdvdread-0.9.5/AUTHORS /usr/share/doc/libdvdread-0.9.5/COPYING /usr/share/doc/libdvdread-0.9.5/NEWS /usr/share/doc/libdvdread-0.9.5/README /usr/share/doc/libdvdread-0.9.5/TODO # I do not have /my/prefix/to/libdvdread/include nor /my/prefix/to/libdvdread/lib. Then, I ask: how can I compile dvdbackup? To compile dvdbackup, I have to do the following: "Compile dvdbackup like this gcc -o dvdbackup -I/my/prefix/to/libdvdread/include \ -L/my/prefix/to/libdvdread/lib -ldvdread dvdbackup.c" Paul
