OK, now that I have that bit sorted out in my brain, ignore that location. The correct location is /var/lib/dpkg/info/ You need to gut /var/lib/dpkg/info/zoneminder.postinst. Adding something like

Code: Select all

exit 0

near the top also does the job.

After that, typing

Code: Select all

dpkg --configure -a

should finish off the installation.

Then it's up to you to make sure the database is OK.

Awesome! That did it. Thank you so very much.

I actually went looking for the MySQL syntax for "drop index if exists" to avoid the problem for others, but it doesn't seem that MySQL supports conditionally dropping a column or index with a simple "if exists" extension to the command. Instead it would require a script/procedures that first queries information_schema.statistics to look for the presence of the index and executes the drop within an IF block. I'll leave it up to the powers-that-be to decide whether it's worth that effort.

Thanks again.

Having an issue with Dapper and the Serialization part. Currently unable to record at risk of filling up the disk.

I started a new post, but was hoping someone here could help.

Thanks

Assuming I've read that right, it looks like the build can't find the ffmpeg headers - have you got ffmpeg installed?

I had a simular problem that you had williamberg.

Zoneminder's make file was expecting .h files in /usr/local/include/fmpeg. My ffmpeg install didn't create a ffmpeg folder under /usr/local/include, instead it created folders like libavdevice, liavutil, libswscale, libavcodec and libvformat. I think there might have been recent changes to ffmpeg and now they are out of sync with Zoneminder's make file.

Checking out the SVN revision of that Zoneminder 1.23.3 was built with would probably fix the problem but I didn't know the corret revision. Instead I did the following:

Code: Select all

sudo mkdir /usr/local/include/ffmpeg
sudo ln -s /usr/local/include/libavformat/avformat.h /usr/local/include/ffmpeg/avformat.h
sudo ln -s /usr/local/include/libavformat/avio.h /usr/local/include/ffmpeg/avio.h
sudo ln -s /usr/local/include/libavformat/rtspcodes.h /usr/local/include/ffmpeg/rtspcodes.h
sudo ln -s /usr/local/include/libavformat/rtsp.h /usr/local/include/ffmpeg/rtsp.h
sudo ln -s /usr/local/include/libswscale/swscale.h /usr/local/include/ffmpeg/swscale.h

Zoneminder then complied without anymore errors.

williamberg · Post by **williamberg** » Thu May 29, 2008 4:52 pm

yes my ffmpeg is installed without errors.
im make yours lines and dont work, change for this :

sudo ln -s /home/williamberg/ffmpeg/libavformat/avformat.h /usr/local/include/ffmpeg/avformat.h
sudo ln -s /home/williamberg/ffmpeg/libavformat/avio.h /usr/local/include/ffmpeg/avio.h
sudo ln -s /home/williamberg/ffmpeg/libavformat/rtspcodes.h /usr/local/include/ffmpeg/rtspcodes.h
sudo ln -s /home/williamberg/ffmpeg/libavformat/rtsp.h /usr/local/include/ffmpeg/rtsp.h
sudo ln -s /home/williamberg/ffmpeg/libswscale/swscale.h /usr/local/include/ffmpeg/swscale.h

pass the make now but im got this error :

I might be you missed a required flag when you installed ffmpeg. When you start the ffmpeg installation with ./configure you need the following flags:

Code: Select all

--enable-shared --enable-postproc --enable-swscale --enable-gpl

You can check you your ffmpeg flags by typing

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -version

williamberg · Post by **williamberg** » Thu May 29, 2008 6:48 pm

im do this to install ffmpeg:

svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
cd ffmpeg
. ./configure --enable-shared --enable-postproc --enable-swscale --enable-gpl --prefix=/opt/
make
sudo make install

williamberg · Post by **williamberg** » Thu May 29, 2008 7:00 pm

and my version is:

Oh I see, you did a -prefix=/opt/

When you called ./configure with the Zoneminder src did you have the option --with-ffmpeg=/opt/? If you didn't that the build won't work.

If your did have the --with-ffmpeg=/opt/ option set, then look in the opt directory for the ffmpeg files. There should be a 'lib' directory that has the .so files zoneminder is looking for. There should be a 'bin' directory with the ffmpeg executable. There should also be an include directory. Your include directory will either have a ffmpeg directory or a libavformat and libswscale directory. If it's a ffmpeg directory under /opt/incudle, then you should be okay. Has libavformate and libswscale instead then do the following:

Code: Select all

sudo mkdir /opt/include/ffmpeg
sudo ln -s /opt/include/libavformat/avformat.h /opt/include/ffmpeg/avformat.h
sudo ln -s /opt/include/libavformat/avio.h /opt/include/ffmpeg/avio.h
sudo ln -s /opt/include/libavformat/rtspcodes.h /opt/include/ffmpeg/rtspcodes.h
sudo ln -s /opt/include/libavformat/rtsp.h /opt/include/ffmpeg/rtsp.h
sudo ln -s /opt/include/libswscale/swscale.h /opt/include/ffmpeg/swscale.h

I'm guessing that libwscale.so.0 is sitting in a directory something like /opt/lib . That's not on the default library path, which is why the system can't find them. Try the following and see what happens:

Code: Select all

sudo bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH={path to dir where libswscale.so.0 is}
/etc/init.d/zm start

williamberg · Post by **williamberg** » Fri May 30, 2008 2:18 am

my libswscale.so.0 is in /opt/lib, can i make a command?

sintaxe is "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH= /opt/lib" ? if yes dont work

Hmmmm. That should work. Do you know what shell you're using?

Just to check, can you do exactly what I put in the last post from the command line - with /opt/bin in it would become:

Code: Select all

sudo bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib
/etc/init.d/zm start

The first line makes you root and ensures that the shell you're running is bash, so the export line should work.
