Package: jack
Version: 3.1.1+cvs20050801-9
Severity: normal
In jack_checkopts.py is the following code:
for t in ("ripper", "encoder"):
if t in userdef_keys and not jack_utils.in_path(cf[t]["val"]):
error("Helper %s '%s' not found on your system." % (t,
cf[t]["val"]))
The jack_utils.in_path checks whether the value (a filename) is in the operating
system environment's $PATH and whether it is executable.
When a user specifies an encoder with a plugin by following the
example in the man page, this will be looking for an executable file
called, e.g., "plugin_lame" in the system $PATH. Of course this test
fails in normal circumstances.
The test should be for whether the value is a loadable Python Module,
which is a different path (which is properly modified to include the
value of Jack's plugin_path variable).
A workaround is to comment out the code quoted above.
