How to install mpg123 on Fedora 11 —01 November 2009

I needed mpg123 to burn an audio CD with cdrecord on my Fedora 11 system at home. Since it’s not in Fedora’s standard repos, googled for it, and found this.

So far so good, I just needed a few more libraries as dependencies, however, the package names were not really intuitive.

• libartsc - arts
• libaudio - nas-libs
• libportaudio - portaudio

It was mere luck that first I looked for libportaudio, and tried simply “portaudio” for little logical reason. Following the same package naming logic I could find “arts”. Finally found “nas-libs” with google.
