I am new to Debian, and when I set up my machine there were some things I did the same way I used to do them, not the 'Debian Way'.
Now I may be paying for it, because my ffmpeg is kinda fuxored. I need to use ffmpeg from svn with support for x264, and previously I have installed to /usr instead of /usr/local, so I did the same now on Debian. Recently I was trying to get ffmpegthumbnailer working and so had to rebuild ffmpeg with --enable-swscale and --enable-shared, but then I started getting this: 'libx264.so.65: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory' I asked on the ffmpeg mailing list about how to get around this, and was advised to rebuild ffmpeg to look for the x264 lib in /usr/local, which got rid of that error but left me with: ffmpeg: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libavcodec.so.52: undefined symbol: av_lfg_init I did some searching on that error, and found that it was probably a result of conflicting libraries, at least according to this post on a Suse mailing list: http://forums.opensuse.org/applications/multimedia/396113-usr-lib-libavcodec-so-52-undefined-symbol-av_lfg_init.html Quote: "that means that his libavcodec.so library was compiled against a libavutil.so with the symbol... but he has a different libavutil.so version installed, one without the symbol. From the output of "rpm -qf" we can see he had libavcodec from Packman and libavutil (previously contained in libffmpeg0) from Videolan. Once he installed both libraries from the same repo everything started to work." Indeed, when I look at what packages I have installed: libavcodec0d libavcodec51 libavformat52 libavutil49 ...which are also provided by ffmpeg. The response from the ffmpeg mailing list was that indeed it looked like it was a conflict with packaged libraries that are also intalled by the ffmpeg from svn. Before I make an even more unholy mess of this, I wonder if someone can give some guidance in what steps I can take to correct this.
