Two follow-on issues I want to raise:

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 ?

Others have already answered really, but you can't really move binaries
about easily when 64bit/32bit are involved.

FWIW ... no such file or directory is the error you will get when mixing
32bit/64bit around so that error probably doesn't mean that gnutls is
not found.

OK. However I should add that I've tended to use 32 bit distro versions
even on machines that may be 64bit. I do plan in future to use 64bit ones
for my next OS changes, but the laptop is 32 bit I think. However I've now
used uname and lsb_release on the laptop and got

3.13.0.24-generic

#46-ubuntu smp 19:08:14 i686

Linuxmint 17 Qiana

Which chimes with my thinking I installed it in 2014 if I'm interpreting
correctly.

The 'music' machine the fmpeg (built on the laptop) won't run on is Mint
18.1 installed just a few days ago. It is quite low powered so I tend to
avoid building anything on it unless I need to. I find that making ffmpeg
on the laptop takes a long time with the fan running flat out! Hate to
think what it would do to the low powered box. 8-]

TBH It doesn't matter that it won't run on that machine as I can use it on
two others anyway. It would have been occasionally convenient. However the
current flac trial is about to end, and we won't get more until the Proms.
At that point I'll probably be more focussed on how to use FireFox to play
the flac streams so far as that particular machine is concerned.

I've been told the flac will *only* be live for the Proms, not continuous
during that period for R3. Trying to find out if that means any fetching
has to be started at the 'right time' to avoid missing something.
