I am fighting a war just trying to confugre transcode. It keeps complaining about avcodec.h from ffmpeg. I downloaded ffmeg and built it and placed the lib .so's in /usr/local/lib and the headers from each in /usr/include/ffmeg.
Now the latest error in config.log: configure:27777: checking ffmpeg/avcodec.h usability configure:27789: gcc -c -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET _BITS=64 -g -O2 -I/usr/include/ conftest.c >&5 In file included from conftest.c:112: /usr/include/ffmpeg/avcodec.h:667: error: redefinition of `struct AVCLASS' and sure enough it is defined in ffmeg/avcodec.h and ffmeg/log.h. But, deleting log.h causes an error because it is missing. I am now on my 5th hour of just trying to configure transcode. Would somebody again tell me why Linux is better????? tj
