Here's what I did to get it compiled (from a sensible starting folder):
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [add an extra line for the deb-multimedia repository] deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org squeeze main non-free sudo apt-get purge rtmpdump sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install deb-multimedia-keyring [yes to "install without verification"] sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libssl-dev librtmp-dev git clone git://git.ffmpeg.org/rtmpdump cd rtmpdump make SYS=posix sudo make install SYS=posix [I think you don't actually need the SYS= bit, as posix is the default] Then you can test with "rtmpdump -v" to check you are running v2.4. To compile a reasonably comprehensive (I think) ffmpeg from source, which takes a couple of hours, you can follow a similar process: sudo apt-get purge ffmpeg sudo apt-get install libfaac-dev libmp3lame-dev libx264-dev libxvidcore-dev libgsm1-dev libtheora-dev libvorbis-dev git clone git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git cd ffmpeg ./configure --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libtheora --enable-libx264 --enable-libgsm --enable-postproc --enable-libxvid --enable-libfaac --enable-pthreads --enable-libvorbis --enable-libfaad --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree make sudo make install sudo ldconfig > You shouldn't need to upgrade ffmpeg along with rtmpdump.

Agreed - though I would probably recommend compiling ffmpeg from git anyway, as I have had problems with ffmpeg on arm before - the "non-monotonically increasing timestamp" error being chief amongst them. > What versions of rtmpdump and ffmpeg did you get from your distro's > repository (run "rtmpdump -v" and "ffmpeg -version")?
