Did you check config.log? If not, have a look at that file.. it's produced when you run configure.. should be in the same folder you ran the install from.. I always do a search for the term "fatal" over that file when I run configure.. That'll start giving you some clues as to what's going on..

Has looked at this file.
Hasn't found that suspicious.

Has laid out a file here http://ifolder.ru/25076910

CentOS 5.6
ZoneMinder 1.24.2

That's a funky download page there... You're right, there's nothing there that jumps out at you (that I can see)...

It appears to be an issue with ffmpeg... Did you check the ffmpeg build config.log? You might check your version and perhaps reinstall.

For what it's worth, my first zm install attempt was on CentOS, which of course is reknowned for it's stability.. I was not successful and moved over to Ubuntu server where I was successful. I've had success with Fedora as well. I can't speak for others who've had success on CentOS, but for me I'd didn't want to fight with it and went to Ubuntu server from there. I'm sure people have had success with CentOS, but from what I've read, the thing that makes it's stable is also the thing that makes a bit problematic is well. And that is , less updates, older versions of software... Not sure at all if that's at play here.

So, I'd check your ffmpeg instance and see what's going on there and potentiall reinstall a new version of ffmpeg. From there, if I wasn't successful, if it were me, cause I'm not bent on using CentOS, I just burn an Ubuntu Server install CD and move that way.. My 2 cents.

Ubuntu it is good, but it would be desirable CentOS

There are some headers missed, especially for ffmpeg as I can see in the config.log.
ffmpeg is correct installed, even the -dev packages?

[fantomas000]

Yes. All is established ffmpeg. And what in config.log it is bad?

These errors are fixed in ZM 1.24.4.
