[dvd::rip] dvd::rip fails to find installed dependencies

Hi all,

 I'm new to just about everything to do with transcoding, dvd authoring
etc, but am trying to build a pvr and have installed dvd::rip using the
tarball.

System is AMD-64 running Debian-64 installed from Kanotix. Kernel 2.6.11

I have most of the dependencies installed, among others transcode and 
ImageMagick
which were installed from a debian repository:

 $ transcode -v
transcode v1.0.0 (C) 2001-2003 Thomas Oestreich, 2003-2004 T. Bitterberg

$ convert -version
Version: ImageMagick 6.2.3 08/04/05 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2005 ImageMagick Studio LLC

However, dvdrip can't find any of these.

I saw this mentioned just after I joined the list, and have tried enabling
and disabling the workaround transcode NTPL bugs option.

Interestingly, I just inadvertently "upgraded" mplayer from my own build
to a pre-compiled version (which crashes). dvd::rip finds the new version,
but didn't find mine (both installed from debs and resident in /usr/bin

I apologise if this has recently been answered, as I imagine it's a fairly
common problem
