when executing make on RH9, i get this:

Pretty sure libavcodec is installed, as it's in: /usr/lib/libavcodec

does anyone know what's wrong?

Ditto here... any ideas?

you need to go download ffmpeg src rpm, install it, then do a "build prep".

curl -O http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/ ... fr.src.rpm (src rpm for redhat 9, if you're running something else, go to freshrpms.net and find the proper rpm for your distro/version)
rpm -ivh ffmpeg-0.4.7-0.20030701.1.fr.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
rpmbuild -bp --nodeps ffmpeg.spec

then go back in to your zoneminder build directory, and add to your configure statement:
--with-ffmpeg=usr/src/redhat/BUILD/ffmpeg-cvs-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx (change the dir to whatever your ffmpeg build directory is)

then try your make again.

acutally, forget all that.

go download zm-1.19.1 and try again. looks like you may have to download ffmpeg 0.4.8 to get this to work. looks like there are rpms for fedora (which could possibly be back ported easily?) or just go download the tar.gz and install that way.

thanks Karl, 1.19.1 works fine :) i managed to get ffmpeg installed thru synaptic, and zm is installed and working....now if only my capture card worked, haha
