Thank you...tha installed just fine, but now abcde says

$ abcde
[ERROR] abcde: glyrc is not in your path.
[INFO] Define the full path to the executable if it exists on your system.
[INFO] Hint: sudo apt-get install

So I installed glyrc and at least the script executes :-)

(Hint: the Hint line should include the name of the missing program at
the end of the apt-get command.)

But now it's telling me:

$ abcde
Executing customizable pre-read function... done.
Getting CD track info... Can't locate MusicBrainz/DiscID.pm in @INC (you
may need to install the MusicBrainz::DiscID module) (@INC contains:

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/abcde-musicbrainz-tool
line 18.
[ERROR] abcde: CD could not be read. Perhaps there's no CD in the drive?

MusicBrainz/DiscID.pm looks like a Perl module...does this mean I need
to install CPAN? Or can I just download the file and stick it into
/usr/local/lib/site_perl

There seem to be an awful lot of missing dependencies in abcde. Am I
missing something (or is Mint not telling me something I should know? :-)
