[Ffmpeg-devel] Re: ffmpeg-devel Digest, Vol 17, Issue 37

[James Simmons]

Luca,

Your suggestion to export LD_LIBRARY_PATH worked just fine, so maybe there is a setup problem as you suggest.  I've been a Linux user since 1999 but there are still things I don't understand.  In this case I have a directory /usr/local/lib that is full of libraries that I've compiled from source but none of the programs that use them have ever had difficulty finding these libraries.  If you could direct me to an explanation I'd be much obliged.  Thanks again for your help.

What hapens if you type
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
before running ffmpeg?
If it works, then there is a setup problem on your side
