Like I said the problem you are having is exactly the same as I had. I thought the same as you do and I recompiled everything for a whole week. I even re-installed Linux 3 times just to be sure. Download SMPEG from the library link on www.libsdl.org and try to compile it. The same error should occur but the config.log will tell you what exactly is wrong. This will prove to you that the problem is not with AVIFILE. You can also try gstreamer which relies on SDL as well and you will get the same error. I think the site is gstreamer.net.... Like I said before the config.log from AVIFILE is not too informative like the one from SPMEG. I am almost certain that your SDL is fine but it cannot link to certain libraries required by the app you are compiling. Just chech the SMPEG config.log and copy the reported libraries to /usr/loca/lib. I just did a search for my missing libraries which were in /opt/kde/lib. I too did not think my suggestion would work and I was also surprised when it did work. Trust me... I was stuck with this problem for days. Hopefully when you get it resolved you can give me the basic example on using it that I have been looking for. :) Wayne Jansson _______________________________________________ Avifile mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://prak.org/mailman/listinfo/avifile
