I try to start zoneminder with

zmpkg.pl start

It doesn't start and this is the only error I receive in the zmpkg log file


01/19/07 15:31:31.627028 zmpkg[3856].INF [Command: start]
01/19/07 15:31:32.487962 zmpkg[3856].ERR [Unable to run "/usr/local/bin/zmfix", output is ""]

I'm running Zoneminder 1.22.3

Linux version 2.6.19
gcc version 3.3.5
Debian 1:3.3.5-13 (debian unstable)

Oh I forgot to mention, I had installed it once before, it started and everything (or at least it said it was started) but when I clicked on the monitor I wanted to view it was a broken image. I fixed all the paths to point to the proper scripts but nothing worked, so I did

make uninstall
make clean

and then re-installed everything.

Can you run zmfix manually? Is there anything in your messages log?

Im sure you are using 64bit version and added the

--with-extralibs="-L/usr/lib64 -L/usr/lib64/mysql"

to your build.

In that case you will need to link "libswscale.so.0" and all other shared libs to the /usr/lib64 directory.


relevant again, when using 64 bit versions.
