Hello,

I am trying to install video-1.0.2.tar.gz package in GNU Octave-3.2.2. I get
the following error message:

octave:2> pkg install video-1.0.2.tar.gz
warning: creating installation directory /usr/share/octave/packages

the configure script returned the following error: checking for gcc... gcc

I have installed ffmpeg installed. I have the following files in /usr/lib:

libavformat.so linked to libavformat.so.52.38.0
libavformat.so.52 linked to libavformat.so.52.38.0
libavformat.so.52.38.0

What should I do to correct this?

Thanks for your help.
