I try to install HandBrake on Kubuntu by sources... if I type jam on HandBrake folder I receive this error message:

I just started installing from source on Ubuntu yesterday. If your experience in this turns out to be anything like mine, your in for a long haul. So far I've spent a couple of hours working through issues, and I'm not done yet. Your particular problem may be in contrib/mpeg4ip. The bootstrap script uses "#!/bin/sh", but then uses more advanced features not part of standard sh. It seems Ubuntu's sh is more strict than others. Change the first line to "#!/bin/bash" and you should be able to continue. I also found that I needed to install a bunch of additional packages.

It's really not that hard... I have built handbrake on about 10 different distros including Kubuntu and Ubuntu. There is not a comprehensive list of dependencies, perhaps I should put one together considering how many times I have posted on this. Start with these packages or the new update to them:

Installed (relevant) packages includes:
ii autoconf 2.61-4
ii automake 1.10+nogfdl-1
ii devscripts 2.9.26
ii g++ 4.1.1-15
ii g++-4.1 4.1.1-21
ii gcc 4.1.1-15
ii gcc-4.1 4.1.1-21
ii gcc-4.1-base 4.1.1-21
ii jam 2.5rel-1
ii libgcc1 4.1.1-21
ii libtool 1.5.22-4
ii make 3.81-2
ii makedev 2.3.1-83
ii yasm 0.5.0-2
ii zlib1g-dev 1.2.3-13

Make sure you do ./configure first, then do jam or make. Jam is the preferred and supported compile type. If you end up having a 'latex' problem then there are solutions posted in the *nix forum, but I have only had those problems on opensuse. If you continue to have problems then you do not have all of the required packages installed. Other than the latex problem I've never had to alter any files to get handbrake compiled in debian based distros.

I've had the unicode latex problem on both fedora 8 and ubuntu. My hack-around was to delete contrib/libdvdcss directory. Untar contrib/libdvdcss.tar.gz to get a clean copy. Edit contrib/libdvdcss/src/dvdcss/dvdcss.h and remove the unicode character from the author Stephane Borel's name. Make a backup of the original tar to another name. Create a new libdvdcss.tar.gz with the modified version.

Hey John thanks for the fix. Hard to believe one non-standard text character would cause so many problems. And a character that is in commented-out code at that.
