Re: dvdrip-0.98.10

The dvd is not mounted, and dvdrip still does not return
the TOC after clicking Read VD table of contents.

$ mount
/dev/sda2 on / type ext3 (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)

I have rar-3.7.0 and fping-2.4b2-7 installed, but
clicking on Debug->Check dependencies, it lists
rar as not OK (though it does say it is installed, but
also says the maximum version supported is 2.99, which I
have not found. Perhaps someone could send me a link
to the source of rar-9.99).
It lists fping as Not installed, which is not correct.
$ rpm -qa | grep fping
fping-2.4b2-7.fc6
$ type fping
fping is a tracked alias for /usr/sbin/fping
$ echo $PATH
/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/lib64/schilly/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/libexec:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/lib64/ccache

So, /usr/sbin/fping is in the PATH, so why does dvdrip say it is not 
installed?

Sorry to mix so many questions with the fundamental problem I am having, 
namely, reading of TOC is not working.

Are there any developers on this thread who could give advice
on how to debug this problem?

Cheers,

JD
