Well I am no slackware genius but I have just got it all running with
no great drama. Sequence for me was:

1. Download / compile lame.
2. Download install abcde
3. Download / compile cd-discid-0.9
4. Download / compile id3lib-3.8.3
5. Download / compile id3v2-0.1.11

And then for EasyTag (my secret weakness!)

6. Download / compile libid3tag-0.15.1b
7. Download / compile libmp4v2-1.5.0.1
8. Download / compile easytag-2.1

This omits wavpack support from easytag. Vorbis and flac material
courtesy of Slackware 12.

It was a bit of a PITA to get all this together but it now produces
single command ripping and conversion.
