 Done. The new package has been installed and saved to

 You can remove it from your system anytime using:

      dpkg -r libvpx

Hi Madhukar,

ls: cannot access *.rb: No such file or directory

It appears that some of the ruby files needed for the record and playback processing are not installed on your server.  Did you get any errors during installation?

I just tried a fresh install, on a new Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit server, and got no errors.   Is there any software previously installed on this server?

Hi Madhukar,

If you get errors earlier in the installation steps, don't skip to the next steps and try to finish.  It's not going to work.

bbb-record --watch
> ls: cannot access *.rb: No such file or directory

It looks like the recording components didn't install correctly.  Did you get any errors during the installation?
