Hmm, strange. I don't know exactly HOW anymore, but I've build id3ed,
id3v2 and id3lib here, all from the SourceForge sources, and I can't
remember having any problems with making them.

You DO have to build id3lib first, as the id3v2 build needs those
libraries, so you will have to point TO the place you put them.

But this is what I've got:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bin bin 11272 2003-03-02 01:23 id3convert
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bin bin 9412 2003-03-02 01:23 id3cp
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bin bin 25812 2004-01-10 04:20 id3ed
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bin bin 20320 2003-03-02 01:23 id3info
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bin bin 15784 2003-03-02 01:23 id3tag
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bin bin 48396 2004-05-04 20:30 id3v2
(some of those come out of id3lib, id3ed and id3v2 are separate
packages).
And when I do "ldd id3v2" I get:
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xb7f81000)
libid3-3.8.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libid3-3.8.so.3 (0xb7f00000)
libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 => /usr/i486-slackware-linux/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 (0xb7eba000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0xb7e97000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb7d68000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7fac000)
in which libid3-3.8.so.3 is the one from the id3lib package and as
you see I put it into /usr/local/lib).

PS: this is in /usr/local/lib:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2003-05-06 15:26 libid3-3.8.so.3 -> libid3-3.8.so.3.0.0
