ZoneMinder Forums

I'm really looking forward to trying out zoneminder, however I just can't get this to install. When doing a config

(./configure --with-mysql=/usr --with-webdir=/www/zm --with-cgidir=/www/cgi-bin --with-ffmpeg=/usr/local )

It configures OK, with the exception of:

checking for av_new_stream in -lavformat... no
configure: WARNING: libavformat.a is required for MPEG streaming

So then I try to make and get the following:

I've recompiled ffmpeg 0.4.9 with --enabled-shared and no luck. I've tried to compile the lastest CVS of ffmpeg and keep getting oggtheora.c errors, so I downloaded 0.4.8 and got this to compile. However installing this version I still can't get zm to compile. I've tried to remove ffmpeg support from the setup program, and it still doesn't compile.

Help!!!! Am I missing something????

Solved it myself:

There were two copies of libavformat.a, one is /usr/lib and the newer compiled ones in /usr/local/lib. I got rid of the old copies and moved the newer files into /usr/lib, ldconfig'd and compiled like a champ!
