Howto install ZoneMinder 1.24.2 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

[vpetersson]

Hey guys,

Last week I launched an updated version of my ZoneMinder Virtual Appliance. The new version us using Ubuntu 10.04 and ZoneMinder 1.24.2. In order to produce this VA, I obviously had to get ZoneMinder running myself. It's pretty straight forward, but there were a few things that took me some time to get around.

Since I understand that there are people out there that want to run ZoneMinder directly on the hardware, I put together a step-by-step guide on how to get ZoneMinder 1.24.2 running on Ubuntu 10.04.

Jan,

Have you installing ffmpeg-dev? I don't think I needed to install it (as it's not in the installation notes), but perhaps it helps. Also, try 'make clean' before running the './configure' script.

Hi. I have the same problem. I am trying to follow the directions given here. Can you please tell me what you mean by "make clean" before running the configure script? Thanks.
