Fixing the CD lookup function in Musicbrainz's Picard

If Like me you want to use MusicBrainz Picard metadata tagger, and are running Mac OS X, you'll probably encounter ticket 3532, which displays this nice little message box :
which says : "Error opening library: dlopen(libdiscid.0.dylib, 6): image not found ".

Now if you read the ticket you'll see that the issue is fixed but that a new version of Picard as not been released yet. Fixing the issue is easy.

First you need to have the developer tools installed , which you can download from connect.apple.com. Once they are installed do the following in a Terminal window "

curl -O http://users.musicbrainz.org/~matt/libdiscid-0.2.2.tar.gz
tar zxvf libdiscid-0.2.2.tar.gz
cd libdiscid-0.2.2
./configure
make
sudo make install

After the sudo command you will be prompted for a password - enter your password.
This will fix the issue, you'll need to start restart Picard - but picard was probably already closed when you started doing this.

On a side note if you are running a PowerPC machine (G4/G5 based macs) the musicbrainz folks are looking for feedback on the PPC build of picard.
