1.8.8 installation on deban based distros - anyone got it w

orking. Short titles.

I'm still using 1.8.5 because of issues with getting the newer versions installed.

I tried 1.8.8 today, unzipped the oss gz and ran the configure script and got this:

configure: error: No package 'libavcodec' found
No package 'libavutil' found.

$sudo apt-get install libavcodec libavutil
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libavcodec
E: Unable to locate package libavutil

I'm making the assumption things will not progress well after this point given these messages -- however there aren't any real clues that I can find that tell me one way or the other.


Edit(s): I wish I could spell.

Using Google to search for "libavcodec debian" comes up with several pages on debian.org describing how to get the libav* development packages.

libavcodec53 and the dev and utils package associated with it sufficient?

Apparenlty not. It compiles and install with no errors, but then the applicaiton pops up a GUI message saying "Failed to initialize".

And I just horked up an eariler installation that was functioning.

When did you download the source package? The first day it was up, there was a problem with the build procedure, and Mike uploaded a replacement.
