[Ffmpeg-devel] error while loading shared libraries: libfaac.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[James Simmons]

I am attempting to compile ffmpeg with the following configure options:

--enable-gpl --enable-xvid --enable-faac

I have the latest xvid and faac libraies compiled from source and installed in /usr/local/lib.  ffmpeg is the very latest in Subversion.  There are no compile errors in ffmpeg or the two libraries.  However, when I try running ffmpeg I get the following error message:

./ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libfaac.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Now the file libfaac.so.0 is in fact in /usr/local/lib so I don't see what the problem is.  Also, when I compile ffmpeg without the --enable-faac option but with the other two options ffmpeg seems to work just fine.  At least I get a proper usage message and it doesn't complain about missing files.

Unfortunately I need faac support to convert movies for an ipod so I'm stuck.  I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to resolve this.

Thanks,

James Simmons
