Oops, my mistake. It looks like both Ubuntu and Mint have got rid of lib64 in their latest releases. If you installed, uninstall and we'll start fresh (sudo make uninstall).

First off, install these packages (if not already installed) to fill a few more dependencies:

libmp3lame-dev
libzzip-dev
libfontconfig1-dev
libfftw3-dev
libgif-dev

now try this command line:

./configure --prefix=/usr

if that doesn't work, try:

./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

and we'll see where we're at.

Good luck
Chris

Chris,

Thanks I'm getting closer but I suspect that I'm still not able to run configure properly as I get errors when I try to run pdf2swf. The new config log is attached.

Thanks,
Kerstyn

    Make sure you have zlib1g-dev installed.  The configure is looking
    for pkgconfig and header files. Anything that it fails on, make
    sure you have the -dev (developement) package installed.

    Hope it helps

    Thanks locating pointing the config file to the correct location
    of libexec has moved me on a bit but now I get the message
    'ERROR: you need zlib to compile swftools'

    I have checked that I have zlib1g install (zlib doesn't seem to
    exist) so not sure what to do next.

    Thanks,

        After a quick look I noticed this:
        --libexecdir=/usr/lib

        Your running a 64 bit system.  I don't know Mint but chances
        are your  libexecdir is /usr/lib64.

        Try this command line:

        ./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib64

        Hope it works.

        Hi,

        I'm trying to install Swftools on Mint 16 but am unable to
        configure the make file. I have checked that the gcc
        complier is installed and works. Attached is the config.log.

        I've trawled the internet but cannot find any solutions.
        I've also been unable to install freetype as that also won't
        configure. Any help you can give would be much appreciated.

        Thanks,
        Kerstyn
