I've noticed a lot of people have had trouble using dvdbackup under
        Fedora Core 5 and later because of the changes made to
        libdvdread.
        Well, I just thought I'd share a simple solution.
        
        download and build the older version of libdvdread that works
        with
        dvdbackup, libdvdread 0.9.3
        
        Then configure it to install into /usr/local/lib
        and /usrlocal/include
        like this:
        ./configure --with-libdvdread=/usr/local --prefix=/usr/local
        --disable-warnings
        
        Then compile dvdbackup to use that libdvdread:
         gcc -o dvdbackup -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib
        -ldvdread
        dvdbackup.c
        
        When you run dvdbackup just make sure you do a:
        export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib
        
        All other apps using libdvdread will of course use the newer
        version
        in /usr/lib (unless you still have
        LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib).
        
        or a script:
        export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib
        /usr/local/bin/dvdbackup $@
        export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib

        Hope that helps,
        Brian
