If you're only encoding one title from each DVD, you could use mplayer to
rip the title to a single file.

mplayer dvd://1 -dumpstream -dumpfile somefilm.mpeg

I've since grabbed the latest from SVN, which builds with the standard 
./configure && make && make install.

However, it did download and compile a bunch of libraries that I already
have. Programs using their own copies of libraries is a bit Windowsy for
my liking.

I suspect 0.9.4 will have more luck, as it uses a more standard build
system. I'm also trying undvd, which seems simplicity itself.
