Two follow-on issues I want to raise:

First...

I've been using the version of ffmpeg I built following the recipy given
here a while ago. This works fine on my laptop and main machine. I've made
a number of useful (and enjoyable!) R3 recordings using them.

But it doesn't work on another machine.

The machine where it fails to run is one which I installed xfce Mint 18.1
onto a few days ago. (32 bit version as it has a 32 bit cpu)

On that, when I try to run the ffmpeg executable I get

Error while loading shared libraries: libgnutls.so.26: cannot open shared
object: no such file or directory.

I assume this means it can't find libgnutls.so.26 ?

I've tried installing what I *thought* might be the relevant package(s)
from the respositories the machine offers. But still get the above. I don't
know if this means I haven't found it, or if the machine requires me to
re-build on it to make a version of ffmpeg it will be happy with. (Although
simply copying across the executable was fine on my other machines.)

This isn't a disaster as the other machines with older OS versions work
fine. But I'd like to sort it out if I can. So can someone point me at the
correct item to install - or explain if the diagnosis and fix is something
else, please?

Second...

The 18.1 install gives me a new version of FireFox. Is this suitable for
fetching the flac stream? Or does it need altering in some way? I noticed
that the OS install seemed to bundle 'flash' along with a lot of other
things. So I'm also wondering if I need to un-install that to avoid it
getting in the way. Anyone able to comment on these points. It would be
good to get FireFox working for the flash stream Proms. :-)

Jim
