installing or using a CD burning package

[Brian Densmore]

try these from a shell:

rpm -qa |grep -i glib
(should show you which glib packages are installed)

apropos glib
(should show you a bunch of arcane messages about
 things you'd rather not know, but might return information
 about glib functions thus proving glib is installed)

which glib
(don't hold your breath on this one, it'll probably find nothing)

whereis glib
(ditto)

ls /usr/lib |grep glib
(should return somthing like;
/usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0
/usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0.0.8)

Why not download an rpm package of xcdroast.
http://xcdroast.sourceforge.net/RPMS/a15/suse-8.2/
it's for an older version of SuSE, but it should work.
But there should be a copy of xcdroast on your cd.

If you have gnome installed try gtoaster.

cdrecord is pretty decent, but you won't have the pretty
GUI frontend (which is all any of the gui recorders are). :(

So what does the INSTALL doc say about this
Basically xcdroast is looking for a package you almost certainly
have installed, but the glib is either in the wrong directory
or you have a newer/older version of glib and making a link to the glib
with the proper link name will resolve the issue.
something like '/usr/lib/libglib-1.2.3.so'.
