And I should add: when I first tried to run transcode, it kept
complaining about a bunch of lib*.so.1 files, but the ones that I
had installed seemed to be newer versions than what it was
looking for. So I just made symlinks that pointed the older
version to the ones I had installed. Could that be part of the
problem?
