[MEncoder-users] Install mplayer in a shared server with libmp3lame support

[Richard Qi]

Hi everyone,

In order to use mencoder converting video file to flv, I installed lame-3.97and
mplayer-1.0rc1 into a shared server. Since I do not have permission to
install anything in /usr/local, I set the prefix option to my home
directory. However, when I run configure for mplayer, it always shows that
"Checking for libmp3lame (for mencoder) ... no".

Here is the information in configure.log:

============ Checking for libmp3lame (for mencoder) ============

#include <lame/lame.h>
int main(void) { lame_version_t lv; (void) lame_init();
get_lame_version_numerical(&lv);  printf("%d%d\n",lv.major,lv.minor); return
0; }

How do I solve this problem? Thanks!!!
