+Grip is a cd-player and cd-ripper using the Gtk+ toolkit. It has the ripping
capabilities of cdparanoia builtin, but can also use external rippers (such
as cdda2wav). It also provides an automated frontend for MP3 encoders,
letting you take a disc and transform it easily straight into MP3s. Internet
To use Grip, you must have:
- o The Gnome desktop
+ o The Gtk+ toolkit (v2)
+ o libcurl
+ o libpopt
+ o libvte
o POSIX thread support (http://pauillac.inria.fr/~xleroy/linuxthreads)
o a net connection (if you want to use disc database lookup)
o a CD player (surprise, surprise)
-Grip requires that you have at least a basic version of the Gnome desktop
-installed on your computer. In particular, make sure that you have libghttp
-installed. If you can't find it, I have mirrored a copy here:

If you wish to have builtin cdparanoia support, or id3v2 support, you must
have the appropriate packages on your system. You can find them here:
If you obtained Grip from the RPM distribution then they are already
installed. If you have the source distribution, you need to compile it.
+If you want to compile from source using Debian-based distributions, install
+the following libraries:
+
+ apt-get install libpopt-dev
+ apt-get install libvte-dev
+ apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev
+
To install Grip, simply go through the following steps:
o after unpacking Grip, cd to the extracted directory
--disable-shared-id3 -- This will force Grip to link statically, rather
than dynamically with id3lib
-Note that if Gnome is installed in a non-standard place (such as /opt), you
-may need to use the '--with-gnome' configure option for all libraries to be
-found correctly.
