There are a bunch of instructions out there for installing ffmpeg. I found really easy instructions using yum, but I needed to use up2date. So I figured I would compile my steps.
First, make sure you’re logged in as root:
su -Install with up2date:
1. Add the following line to /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources:
yum dag http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/$ARCH/dag
Note: Your source line may be different depending on your release. You can find the correct line to use here: http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/FAQ.php#B5
2. Add the following line to /etc/ld.so.conf:
/usr/local/lib
3. Finally, execute each of the following in order:
ldconfig -v rpm -Uvh ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/dag/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm up2date ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel
Note: Your rpm may be different depending on your release. You can find the correct rpm to use here: http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=rpmforge-release
- Or – Install with yum:
1. Create and add the following to /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo:
[dag] name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag gpgcheck=1 enabled=1
2. Add the following line to /etc/ld.so.conf:
/usr/local/lib
3. Finally, execute each of the following in order:
ldconfig -v rpm -Uvh ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/dag/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm yum update yum install ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel
Note: Your rpm may be different depending on your release You can find the correct rpm to use here: http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=rpmforge-release
You’re finished! You can find the PHP extension here: http://ffmpeg-php.sourceforge.net
