[MPlayer-users] Newer versions of mencoder don't believe I have v4l, older versions get it right

[Carl Weidling]

Hi,
Thanks for showing an interest in my problem.

I tried creating a symbolic link in /usr/include to
/usr/src/linux-2.6.18/include/linux/videodev2.h
and
recompiled with configure make make install.  Then
I ran my script again, same result:
MEncoder 1.0rc1-3.4.6 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team
