help with xawtv

Hello, I just registered so I will give a brief descripton of my setup.

I am running CentOS 4.2, and I actually compiled the latest ZoneMinder from source cause I was having issues getting the CentOS package to actually work on my system. Anyway, I seem to have ZoneMinder working, I can see the web page etc...etc...

My real problem is with XAWTV. I have tried installing the package through YUM as well as from source as well. I get different errors with the different methods:

After installing the package with yum and I try to actually run it:

Code: Select all

[smithnp@fatboy ~]$ xawtv
This is xawtv-3.94, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.9-22.0.2.106.unsupported)
load_codec_info_from_plugin: dlopen failed for /usr/lib/libquicktime/lqt_ffmpeg.so:
/usr/lib/libquicktime/lqt_ffmpeg.so: undefined symbol: avcodec_init
Segmentation fault
When I try to compile from source after typing 'make' I get:

Code: Select all

[root@fatboy xawtv-3.95]# make
  CC      libng/plugins/write-qt.o
libng/plugins/write-qt.c: In function `video_list':
libng/plugins/write-qt.c:351: error: structure has no member named `num_encoding_colormodels'
libng/plugins/write-qt.c:353: error: structure has no member named `encoding_colormodels'
libng/plugins/write-qt.c:354: error: structure has no member named `encoding_colormodels'
libng/plugins/write-qt.c:381: error: structure has no member named `num_encoding_colormodels'
libng/plugins/write-qt.c:382: error: structure has no member named `encoding_colormodels'
make: *** [libng/plugins/write-qt.o] Error 1
I know this isn't an XAWTV support forum, but I can't find much XAWTV support at all. I have spent the better part of the day picking through this site and the internet and I have not found a fix for this issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You

Nick

oops, I put this in the wrong forum, this is with zoneminder 1.22.x, not sure if that matters much for the issue I am seeing though.

This looks to me like you have some QuickTime package or other missing. Other than that I can't be a whole lot of use I'm afraid!

I figured it out...
I finally just removed *everything* that I had installed to do with ZoneMinder and starting over compiling from source instead of using YUM or any other rpm packages... working great now!
