Very Computer

I'm having problems invoking xcdroast. I've installed
version 0.96d-4 using the rpm with Red Hat 5.1.
When I enter the command 'xcdroast' I get the reply
   xcdroast: can't resolve symbos '__xstat'

I have no idea of what's wrong. Any help is appreciated.

 Xcdroast is only a user-friendly graphical interface for mkisofs and
cdrecord. The
binary RPM package for xcdroast contains compiled versions of these two
programs.
I have no idea of what is __xstat, but I think its because these
compiled programs have
some kind of imcompatibility with your kernel.
You could try to get the source RPM and compile it in your machine,
althought Im not
sure if mkisofs and cdrecord will be compiled together with xcdroast.
In order to compile the source RPM, you will have to install the Tcl/Tk
libraries which
is available from your RedHat Linux distribution CD.
To compile and install from a source RPM:

# rpm -i xcdroast-xxx-xxx.src.rpm
# cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
# rpm -bb xcdroast.spec (or something like that)
(This can take a long time depending on the program)
# cd ../RPMS/i386
# rpm -ivh xcdroast-xxx-xxx.rpm

Another option would be compiling and installing both mkisofs and
cdrecord and
using them from the command line.
mkisofs has a binary RPM available with RedHat distribution, so You
dont have to
worry about it. cdrecord can be found at Caldera FTP site
(ftp://ftp.caldera.com/pub)
in source RPM format. This solution worked very well for me so I dont
miss xcdroast...
Anyway, its up to you.
