I have now got as far as the make finally after several evenings spent going round in circles trying to get zm built at all. It's taken three nights just to get to the end of zmconfig! On the make I have the following errors:

if g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/local/mysql417/include -I/include -g -O2 -MT zm_event.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/zm_event.Tpo" \
-c -o zm_event.o `test -f 'zm_event.cpp' || echo './'`zm_event.cpp; \
then mv -f ".deps/zm_event.Tpo" ".deps/zm_event.Po"; \
else rm -f ".deps/zm_event.Tpo"; exit 1; \

make[2]: *** [zm_mpeg.o] Error 1

Oops didn't mention this on fedora core 3. Libjpeg as recommended but ffmpeg 1.4.9 version as the 1.4.8 won't compile on my system. Mysql is 4.1.7 (watch out for the password gotcha with perl DBD!) latest apache & php rpm builds (with the -devels too)

I had the same problem.

It appears that the compiler is looking in the wrong place for the ffmpeg header files.

I got around it by creating the directory /include/ffmpeg
then copied all the include files (*.h) from /usr/local/ffmpeg/libavcodec and /usr/local/ffmpeg/libavformat into /include/ffmpeg.

(you may have to change /usr/local/ffmpeg above to where you put your ffmpeg stuff).

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I'll try that. I think I tried putting the libavcodec.h in the /include directory but I guess that wasn't quite what it was after
